I received a call from an 18-year veteran law enforcement professional who informed me that he had been suspended with pay and was told he was being subjected to an internal affairs investigation and potentially a criminal investigation. The incident in question involved an alleged illegal search that resulted in the prosecutor throwing out some drug arrests. The officer understood why his actions may have been improper but did not understand why he was being suspended or what the possible criminal implications could be. After much discussion, he and I concluded that the administration may have been reacting to pressure from the prosecutor’s office.
