Lieutenant Richard Frank has been recommended to be demoted to Sergeant because of his inability to concentrate because he is easily distracted by “looking at tits”, when interacting with his insubordinates. This is never acceptable, but int he #MeToo environment, it is career suicide. Frank has more disciplinary action pending that could lead to his termination.
UPDATE: Former Lieutenant Frank is no longer on the job. He has retired. He has retired as a Lieutenant before he was demoted to the rank of Sergeant.
Lieutenant Anthony Burton is pretty confident that his punishment for cheating, lying and committing fraud by submitted a fraudulent doctor’s note in order to cheat on the Captain’s test, will only result in the prohibition of his future test-taking. While confidence is a great trait to have in a leader, lying, cheating and stealing are not. The Philadelphia Police Department would be remiss to retain such a character in its ranks when there is compelling evidence to substantiate his malfeasance.
The Police Board of Inquiry (PBI) recommended a 45 day suspension for Burtons‘ misdeeds in a prior infraction last week. The 45 days is indicative the Board thought his behavior was pretty awful, but they just couldn’t bring themselves to terminate him for his bad behavior, this time.
The allegations of his attempt at defrauding his fellow officers from a fair shot at competing on promotional exams is still under investigation. Burton has been espousing that his only punishment will not be criminal charges but a five (5) year prohibition on taking civil service examinations.
UPDATE: Former Lieutenant Burton has been demoted to the rank of Sergeant. Burton is back where he started as a Sergeant in the 6th District. Burton was a Sergeant in the 6th District, was in Narcotics as a Sergeant, went to the 15th District as a Lieutenant, leaving a trail of complaints of theft and cheating in his wake.
Burton was then sent to the Delaware Valley Intelligence Center while he was under investigation. Another reason there should be a logistics officer. Why are cops accused of corruption and criminal conduct assigned to centralized multi-agency facility tasked with information sharing between law enforcement agencies.
Shouldn’t the DVIC be staffed with the best and the brightest as opposed to the crooked and corrupt.
Burton is now assigned to the 6th District as a Sergeant. Burton was bragging that his only punishment for cheating was a five year prohibition on any future test taking. Burton has yet to be disciplined for that infraction.
Burton is too broke to retire, so he will have to battle through the loss of his rank. And simply wait for the next shoe to drop, which should lead to the loss of his job.
