Police chief cleared by civili
The Seattle Police Department's new civilian internal affairs director said Monday that she found no evidence that Chief Gil Kerlikowske tried to unduly influence an investigation that cleared two officers of serious misconduct stemming from a controversial drug bust.
Kathryn Olson, the lawyer now heading Seattle's Office of Professional Accountability, also supported the chief's findings -- concluding that the officers were only at fault for technical violations -- after the original investigation.

UK: Police chief slams "corrup
Thames Valley Police has spoken out over its "disappointment" after ex-PC Paul Jervis was caught with crack cocaine.
Jervis, who got hooked on the class A drug after meeting High Wycombe prostitute Michelle Izzard, was arrested after being found in possession of the dangerous substance.
The police investigation into Jervis revealed the 47-year-old, formerly of Green Road, High Wycombe, had been accessing the police database and making calls to Izzard, but it was not proved he had been passing this information on.
He was jailed for a year in total, suspended for 18 months and ordered to do 100 hours unpaid work during a hearing at Swindon Crown Court on Friday.
Jervis is now living with his grandparents in south Wales and earning £85 stacking shelves at a supermarket. He resigned from his £30,000-a-year position with the force after he was arrested in September and is going through divorce proceedings.
Deputy Chief Constable Alex Marshall said: "I am extremely disappointed by the conduct of Mr Jervis who was a police officer for 27 years. He has let himself, his family and the force down and has received an appropriate sentence as well as losing his job.
"However, I am encouraged by the fact that this corrupt officer was rooted out by colleagues who reported him to the Professional Standards team who in turn were able to prove the case against him.
"Offences such as these are rare but integrity is absolutely key to policing and we will continue to do everything we can to remove corrupt and dishonest people from the service."
Izzard, 31, of Marlow Road, Stokenchurch, was sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended for two years, for three counts of supplying a class A drug between May and September last year at Swindon Crown Court on 21 December 2007.
