Someone will have to explain this one to me.
There are 15 police officers, many of them veterans, off the street today. They cannot work because they have been relieved of duty. That is because they are no longer certified to carry a weapon.
And why is that? A state agency claims they cheated on the certification test.
The Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission voted for the “permanent revocation” of their certifications. The officers now have 30 days to appeal. For now, they cannot work as cops.
The state agency alleges that one officer got the answers to the test, and shared it with others back in February 2009.
And just like that, more than a dozen careers went up in smoke.
But here’s the weird part. From everything we’ve been told, it is almost impossible to fail this mandated Act 180 exam. In fact, if for some reason you do not pass, you get to take the test again.
Given all that, why would you risk your career by allegedly cheating on the exam?
Unbelievable.
