back pay (with interest) and benefits for the period while they were terminated. Another case involved the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD). In 2007, newly appointed MPD Chief of Police Cathy L. Lanier announced the "All Hands on Deck" policy, in which all 4,000 MPD officers worked for three straight days to patrol high-crime neighborhoods and execute arrest warrants. Several "All Hands on Deck" periods occurred in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), a labor union representing police officers in the District of Columbia, filed six to 10 grievances over the practice, claiming it violated the collective bargaining agreement and broke D.C. law. In September 2009, Truesdale filed an arbitrator's report in which he held that the MPD forced officers to change vacation days and tours of duty in violation of the union contract, failed to bargain with the FOP over these unilateral contract changes, and ordered the city to halt the "All Hands on Deck" initiative. He also ordered the MPD to pay overtime (with interest) to those officers who worked extra shifts. Lanier said would appeal the ruling to the Public Employee Relations Board and the courts. Truesdale moved from his home in Bethesda, Maryland, to an assisted living facility in Annapolis, Maryland, in 2005. In early 2011, he moved to Martinsburg, West Virginia, to be closer to family members. He died at West Virginia University Hospitals East-City Hospital from cancer on July 3, 2011. He was survived by his wife and four children. He was interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Awards, memberships, and honors John C.
