Maybe Shanahan should investigate why some state law enforcement agencies permit their officers to do off-duty security work while others entirely prohibit it. A level playing field would be nice.-pinehorse

Maybe because it's not a crime. Every Chief has discretion as to whether he allows secondary employment or not. Most do because LEO pay is low and they need it to survive.

The Sgt in this case must have been demoted for something prior. Why does he have captains bars on his collar if he is a Sgt?

What bothers me is the investigation is about employees that get paid through tax dollars and nobody at this point will reveal what it is about. I can understand if it involved something such as National security, but I hardly belive State Capitol Police fall into that category. Not saying anything makes me belive it may be political in nature. The citizens of North Carolina at minimum deserve to know the reasons for the investigation.

All I know is if I were accused of doing something I didn't do I'd be scared as heck knowing that people like those that judge before even knowing what the charge may be are out here with their pitchforks and torches. Have we even really evolved from the times of the Salem witch trials or the medieval ages?

we really need to wait and see what the real issue is here before we make any judgements. admin leave is very common in every department and anyone can make a complaint any any good agencey must investigate and police itself. so hold off on the judgements for now these guys worked hard to be where they are and shouldnt be judged before you no all the facts.

"glorified security guard IMHO" " most hazardous thing he has to do, kick the homeless off State Property?" REALLY??? Well IMHO you are sadly misinformed as to what is involved in police work. I'm sure they handle the same sorts of crimes that any other police department handles. You honestly think that crimes are not committed on state property...do you live in a bubble? I guess criminals know that invisible line that goes around state property is a no fly zone!!!
