Garden City police harassment dispute over Banda training and promotions
Garden City officials dispute Banda’s harassment claim while detailing training sessions for police staff. They confirm two officers faced discipline after Banda’s Sept. 10 order, with one promoted during the same period, and note promotions and demotions in the department amid an Oct. 31 investigation and a broader reorganization. The coroner and city counsel back procedures, while Banda’s attorney calls for independent review of hiring and training practices.
