City officials on Thursday recommended sensitivity training for all city inspectors of taxis, limousines and wrecker services after one of them said in an interview that most of the city's drivers are Muslim and "a lot of them blow up places."
In a report released for the first time at the city's Transportation and Licensing Commission meeting, Metro's Department of Human Resources also confirmed allegations that inspectors had illegally carried firearms and police badges while on duty, giving motorists the impression that they were police officers.
No decisions were made based on the report, which the commission requested after city Police Chief Steve Anderson accused inspectors of using badges, guns and blue lights in the course of their work. The commission's executive director, Brian McQuistion, had not seen the report before Thursday's meeting.
