In the above article is bit of shining light. Granted it’s from two years ago, but I take what I can get. A retired police lieutenant was given a prison sentence for taking drug money. At the time he had up to 40 narcotics detectives working under him. He admitted to taking $110,000 over three years and was caught when he was videotaped stealing $169,000. Wow.
It makes you wonder how many other officers like Mr. Maguire there are out there pocketing drug money for their own gain while pretending to keep it off the streets.
In this case it states, “The investigation ultimately implicated as many as 10 current or retired detectives, but only Mr. Maguire, the two men caught on videotape and a third detective were charged with crimes. Another detective has been fired. The department is seeking to fire two others.”
