Who polices the police when law enforcement officers violate their oath?
For most, if you violate a serious policy at work, it can mean discipline or losing your job entirely.
In May 2021, Utah County deputy Joseph Richardson was driving in a personal vehicle to a scene, speeding, with no lights and sirens."He was in violation of policy and in that violation he killed somebody," Sarkis said. This is far from the only case where officers have continued to be paid while under investigation and where eventual discipline is backdated, leaving little direct effect."I can tell you, it's not a vacation. These officers are experiencing mental stress and are stressed pretty constantly," Newlin said.
POST investigates almost any misdeed of law enforcement from rape, assault, and DUI, to even taking antler sheds in the wrong season.
