Police Stories

A police officer assigned to a South Jersey high school has been arrested for having several sexual encounters with a 17 year old student. Officer Eric Allen, who (like all arrestees) is presumed innocent, had been assigned to the Absegami High School as a resource officer.
An officer in Lacey, Washington was reinstated after the Police Guild grieved his termination. Keith Mercer's superiors complained about his poor work habits, alleging that he allowed two sexual assault investigations to "slip through the cracks." After Mercer jokingly put a gun to his head in front of an officer who asked him how he was handling the stress of the investigation, Mercer was fired. An arbitrator decided that the incident involved "horseplay" rather than "misconduct," warranting only a three day suspension. Horseplay with a gun isn't misconduct?
Finally, this story from Arizona:
Glendale police have been forced to scrap 158 domestic-violence cases because the detective assigned to the cases falsified reports and failed to file the necessary paperwork, officials say.
Brad Moore is alleged to have filed reports in 242 cases falsely claiming that the cases had been submitted to city prosecutors to be tried as misdemeanors.
In fact, 158 cases were left uncompleted and never turned over to prosecutors, police said.
