i am not surprised. my faith has been somewhat restored in cmpd. dealings with this person in the past when assaulted were tainted with disbelief from him and subsequent lack of enforcement of the law. issues such as police reports indicating false information and being treated in a disdainful manner made it very hard to feel safe with this person patrolling my area and responding to calls. let this be a lesson that it is only a matter of time for those that do not hold to the standards of any public service office we have VOLUNTARILY elected to be a part of. my only question is where was the domestic violence division when i needed them?

[Excerpts] ...Officer Duane Lattimore was recommended for dismissal on March 15, 2010. Police officers were called to his home six times in three months for "domestic violence related" incidents, according to the civil service board.

DeleteThey wouldn't recommend him for dismissal without cause. People accuse all the time but there has to be something to the accusations before they discuss firing an officer. I'm sorry that this is happening in your family and difficult to see.
