High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

There must be something in the water at Durham.

Should your custodial facility holding evidence have sprinklers? What's the worst that could happen? Destroying evidence from hundreds of cases?

Some wizard probably said “We can’t have all of our evidence destroyed by water!”

Nice to see that a facilities manager waved off any concerns over the best evidence rule.

I worked well with DRPS but they seem to endure a parade of weird command decisions.
 
OPS detective found guilty of discreditable conduct in unauthorized investigations.

Since it's Ottawa, I assume the sanction if any will be trivial, because it's impossible to fire such an unfit individual from the Ottawa police.

I didn’t even need to open this to know it was going to be you updating about Helen Grus.

Good finding; she’s a disgrace. I share your pessimism about sanctions.

‘Routine and predatory acts:’ Woman files suit against Holly Hill over police misconduct allegations​

Holly Hill Police Chief Jeffrey Miller resigned March, 2024 amid investigation​



A woman is suing the city of Holly Hill alleging the former police chief and others in the department of engaging in “routine and predatory acts in the workplace towards women for years,” according to court documents.

The suit states that Holly Hill Police Chief Jeffrey Miller and Capt. Christopher Yates “began a campaign of relentless sexual harassment, assault, and battery.”

News 6 reported in March, 2024, that Miller resigned from his role amid an investigation into the police department after allegations about “inappropriate incidents” came up.

A month later, another Holly Hill police officer was suspended amid the investigation. Sgt. Tom Bently was placed on paid leave in accordance with the police officer’s bill of rights. Bently’s leave follows the suspension of Yates and Sgt. Shannon Fountain, also part of the same investigation.

In June, 2024, Holly Hill city officials announced they hired Byron K. Williams as their new police chief, days after a monthslong investigation conducted by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office into the department concluded.

The city handed the investigation over to the sheriff’s office in March so it would be impartial.

Wow. Either the first time I heard about her or I had forgotten. Nothing like using your authority to go on a personal quest.

OPS must be a fun place. I wonder if RFK Jr. has an opening.
 

Maybe he was just doing his job.
