'Market Place' story on NJ cops suing bosses


The ‘Marketplace’ story that I was featured on concerning cops suing bosses can be seen and heard on this link: Who sues police departments the most? Police officers

Unfortunately, Sally Herships didn’t have time to look beyond New Jersey…or consider fire departments.  You and I know that this issue exists in many states.  In the end it can be traced back to ineffective IA/OPS operations and either lazy or abusive bosses. 

We do have some officers who simply won’t accept any responsibility for their own actions and will fight any censorship or discipline.  But even those officers can be nullified when the administrative investigation is done in a reasonable and defensible manner.  Cutting corners and hastily done investigations will always get us in trouble and feed the employees who want to show that the bosses, or as they call them in fire departments the ‘white shirts,’ are just out to get them.
