A senior legal advisor to the city’s public safety agency will independently investigate allegations of unauthorized, encrypted communications among staff, raising concerns over transparency and potential violations of professional conduct. The probe follows reports that employees used private messaging platforms to discuss official matters outside standard oversight channels, bypassing official records and chain of command protocols.

The review comes amid broader discussions about digital accountability in government operations.
