Police Officer Alleges Wrongful Termination

This case takes place in Kansas and involves the alleged wrongful termination of a police department internal affairs officer. The former officer alleges that he was wrongfully terminated for following appropriate policies and protocol, while his supervisors and their cohorts were allowed to conduct themselves in an inappropriate and unethical manner. The complaint also includes racial discrimination issues and other alleged violations, and claimed that the officer’s department had not followed pertinent employee retention policies.

Question(s) For Expert Witness

1. Have you served as a police department chief before or currently?

2. Do you have any specific protocol that considers wrongful termination issues (i.e. defining when a department employee may be terminated)?

3. Have you ever served as an expert witness before? If so, please explain.

Expert Witness Response E-007801

inline imageI have experience with these matters as a former Chief of Police. In my current position as a consultant, I work with municipalities and police departments and have been hired to address these specific issues. I am asked by municipalities to conduct investigations concerning employee misconduct, and oftentimes it is police misconduct. I also served as the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commissioner, so I am extremely familiar with proper standards and protocols that police departments should be following.
