Special officer found guilty of wrongfully showing her badge


Special officer found guilty of wrongfully showing her badge
OATH Index No. 1968/08

Administrative Law Judge John Spooner found that a special officer wrongfully displayed her badge in three off-duty incidents: once during a dispute with a laundromat attendant, and twice in discussion with a police sergeant, whom she asked to void a parking ticket because she is an officer.

The ALJ recommended that sixty-day suspension without pay be imposed as the penalty for the misconduct.
