Body camera footage was said to show him groping a deceased woman’s breasts, according to a person familiar with the case .

The unidentified male officer was not working while the case was under investigation, Josh Rubenstein, the department spokesman, said on Wednesday.

The officer had been assigned to the Central Division and was responding to an overdose call, he said. Mr. Rubenstein declined to provide specific information about the incident, including when it occurred, because it’s part of a personnel investigation.

Supervisors throughout the jurisdiction conduct random reviews of video on a monthly basis, Mr. Rubenstein said .
