APD Response to APO, Officer Avery Zucchi
In response to Austin Police Oversight's recommendation that Officer Avery Zucchi receive a written reprimand for violating Austin Police Department (APD) policy, Police Chief Lisa Davis disagrees. APD’s Vehicular Homicide Unit and Internal Affairs determined that another vehicle caused the crash by failing to yield, and Officer Zucchi took multiple precautions prior to the crash.
