I was very disappointed. When we’re in certain positions of responsibility, particularly public safety, we have to adhere to a higher standard of personal conduct. I know the comments depicted on Facebook are not indicative of the men and women who make up police department, nor city government.

I am confident CPD leaders will issue whatever disciplinary action is warranted following their investigation.

I think anybody who is a member of your team has the responsibility to conduct him or herself in a way that depicts the team in the best light. Team members count on one another to do that.

Social media empowers individuals, while at the same time requiring a high level of responsibility and requires a level of maturity. It’s why we have a social media policy.”
