Yesterday I signed a termination order for an officer who initiated unprofessional and highly inappropriate communication with women he came into contact with while at work.

The damage to the public trust in this department from this type of behavior cannot be overstated. The decision to end someone’s employment is not something that I take lightly.

The Office of Professional Accountability thoroughly investigated these complaints and the employee was afforded all of the privileges of due process.

The termination order is available here (PDF).
