Dover Mortuary Whistleblower Update

The Office of Special Counsel found the tone for retaliation against whisteblowers at the Dover Mortuary came from the top. It blamed Air Force Col. Robert Edmonson, the former commander, for an atmosphere that led to prohibited personnel practices. The retaliation hit employees who protested the mishandling of slain servicemembers' remains. Edmonson has already been reprimanded. An Air Force statement said more action would come. The Office of Special Council's final report noted that corrective actions for the whistleblowers have been completed.
