Civilian Review Board: Case #1
Schock provided a presentation of the evidence and noted that the investigation that
was conducted sustained the complaint.
The board members stated the different factors that were considered in determining
their recommendation. Factors discussed included what was happening in the city
regarding federal enforcement, the impact of the officer’s actions on the agency’s
reputation and damage to the community’s trust. Also noted was the intentionality of
the actions of the officer and the misuse of authority.
Chair Rush reviewed the options for the board’s recommendation: no action, verbal
warning, written warning, suspension and dismissal.
A motion was made by Bosque, seconded by Schock, to recommend termination of the
officer in civilian review board case #1. Motion approved.
