Houston Police Chief Troy Finner retired amid controversy over his knowledge of the "SL" code, used to suspend over 260,000 cases since 2016, including thousands of sexual assault investigations. An email from 2018 suggested Finner knew about the code's use during his tenure as Executive Assistant Chief, contradicting his claim that he became aware of it in November 2021. The code was attached to cases suspended due to a lack of personnel.
