ChicoSol has been recognized with a second place award in investigative reporting in the California News Publishers Association (CNPA) annual contest. The award came for reporting by Dave Waddell for a trio of stories: “Exclusive Interview: Groomed by a badge“; “Ex-girlfriend: On-duty sex with former sergeant dated to 2022“; and “Chico officer suspended for receiving oral sex in patrol vehicle.”
Waddell earned third place honors in investigative reporting for his story “Butte County police-shooting probes stall.”

Congratulations Dave Waddell! Your recognition is well-deserved. You are shining a light on corrupt, insular, appalling law enforcement abuses in Chico. The cowardly local media praises the police while the small but mighty ChicoSol highlights the dysfunctional officers and leadership of the Chico PD.
