Demotions, Promotions, and Retirements

Lieutenant Richard Frank, facing demotion, and then termination after a 2nd set of discipline pending, Frank took a Regulation 17 on 11/7/2018.  So Frank is out of here.

Frank couldn’t help himself.  Frank was unable to listen to what the female officer was saying to him because he couldn’t hear her because he was too busy “staring” at her “tits.”

Lieutenant Anthony Burton, reportedly will be demoted.  Burton has a second set of discipline coming also.  This second set of discipline, if he is found guilty, could result in termination.  ‘

Police Commissioner Richard Ross was at the Guardian Civic League tonight and even weighed in on the goings on in the department.  One of the things he conceded was that “Lieutenant Burton was lucky he still had a job.”  He further stated it is no secret who is father was.  However; Ross was clear that people will be held responsible for their behavior.

There must be something true in that assertion.  Who else could survive numerous complaints about stealing, lying, cheating to get on a promotional list and faking cancer and still remain on the city’s payroll.  Burton has survived, thus far.  But there is no way this guy can be called to testify.

Burton doesn’t have the character needed to remain a police officer, if any one of the allegations against him are true.  Much less the numerous allegations.  If you can’t testify, you really can’t be a cop.

And, as in the rest of the nation, racial tensions are running a little high within the department according to some of the complaints.  Chief Inspector Anthony Boyle’s ears should have been burning.

Allegations of cops in black-face and the possibility of a supervisor who tried in vain to spread hate at the FOP for his “blood and honour” (Corporal Robert Pawlowski).   Pawlowski  happened to spew his hatred toward Deputy Commissioner Robyn Wimberly.

Name calling is a lot less invasive than putting your hands on a fellow officer as Boyle has been accused of by Captain Laverne Vann.  Vann and three other officers had previously filed a lawsuit against Boyle.

So, racist, woman beaters, thieves (money or time), sexual harassers,  cheaters and those who are determined they will engage in various corruption, beware.  And if the huge amount of number of cops who will be reportedly skipped on the promotional lists is any indication, you are forewarned.

You will be demoted, not promoted, forced to retire or dismissed.
