OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — A group of faith leaders is seeking the resignation of Overland Park Police Chief Frank Donchez because of the department’s response to the fatal shooting of a teenager in 2018.
The organization, called MORE2, on Monday said Donchez has misled the public since 17-year-old John Albers was shot by an officer in his family’s driveway. Albers’ parents have criticized the department’s lack of transparency in their son’s shooting and in actions the department has taken since then.
The department says it will release a redacted report this week that explains the investigation into the officer’s actions.
