"We dressed up for the assignment that we were working, " he said. In 2007, a photo of the two detectives was published in a police yearbook, according to a police spokesman. Chief Paul said he found out about the photograph this week after it started circulating on social media. "Today, we would not allow our officers to wear blackface in an official capacity under any circumstances, " Chief Paul said in the statement. He said the "department is bound by the Louisiana Law Enforcement Bill of Rights, which places a timeline on administrative investigations related to officer conduct. " One of the two officers is still with the department, the police spokesman said. He said the Baton Rouge police did not plan to further investigate the photograph or discipline the officer. Caruso said that "in today's times, people are trying to look at anything that they can to make a race issue out of something. " So, would he use blackface in a drug operation today? "Because of the way everything in the world today is with race, and everybody talking about race relations and blackface, and all these things that they're talking about right now, '' he said, "I probably would not do it today. "
