Houston Police Department has terminated an officer involved in a use of force incident at a county jail.

The incident occurred while the officer, identified as Ortiz, was working as a detention officer. This took place three months before Ortiz entered the police academy.

Ortiz was reassigned to administrative duties by the Houston Police Department in December.

This reassignment was part of the department’s standard protocol pending the outcome of the investigation.

By moving Ortiz to administrative tasks, the department ensured that he would not be in a position where similar incidents could occur during the investigation period.

The use of force incident raised questions about the conduct of officers within detention facilities.

The exact details of the use of force incident remain undisclosed.
