From [HERE] Grand jury results are in for 13 cases presented to them by Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine.

On Thursday, the grand jury returned a “no true bill” for all of them — including the death of 37-year-old Cameron Ford, who was shot and killed by Omaha SWAT Officer Adam Vail during a no-knock search warrant in August.

“No true bill” means the grand jury will not indict him — that the evidence did not persuade them that there is probable cause to believe the officer committed a crime.

Following the shooting, Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer recommended that the officer be fired from his position, saying Vail was in violation of the department’s protocol when issuing the warrant in the early morning hours of Aug. 28.

“The internal affairs process and investigation were comprehensive and thorough. During the course of the investigation, I did not see or uncover any criminal intent on the part of Officer Vail. Nonetheless, I cannot ignore my determination that policy and procedure violations occurred,” Schmaderer said in a statement in September.

Vail remains an active duty Omaha Police officer. HR will hear his case as part of the employee’s due process rights. If he is officially fired, the case would be appealed and — based on the union contract — it would go to an arbitration hearing.

The Omaha Police Officers Association has expressed their support of Vail following the incident.
