http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/17/1322435/-So-Darren-Wilson-has-a-clean-record?detail=email#What Chief Jackson didn't tell anyone at any of the press conferences was that, until he took over in 2010, use of force complaints were not kept in an officer's personnel file.
No investigation. Just an officer writing up his excuse. The excuse went in the case file and nothing went on the officer's "record."
Chief Jackson changed that policy when he took up the reins of the department in 2010, but a policy change that fundamentally alters the long term relationship between the police and the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect, would probably take a while to implement. If it could, in fact, be implemented

His prior police department (Jennings) was disbanded for corruption. He was on that force for 2 years.

So he and the chief both came in 2010. Seems like there isn't even anything here to speculate about.
