GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Christopher Schurr has earned multiple commendations during his seven-year career as a Grand Rapids police officer, including being lauded several times for successful foot chases.
Grand Rapids officials on Friday released portions of Schurr's personnel file following a public records request from The Detroit News. The records show Schurr received 14 commendations and was the subject of two internal investigations, one sustained after he was found at fault in a traffic crash involving his scout car.
Schurr, 31, is suspended pending the results of a Michigan State Police investigation into the April 4 shooting death of motorist Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Congolese immigrant.
