Discrimination lawsuit by female cops to be settled
Police commissioners are poised to settle a 2005 sexual harassment and discrimination suit brought by three female police officers.
The plaintiffs, Joanne Lozenski, Juanita Stockwell and Susan Rolovich, say top brass failed to prevent the harassment and retaliation that began in 2000 and lasted several years.
