Another Chief of Police sets example for the troops - too bad it wasn't a good example
Back on June 2, 2009, Perry Township Ohio Chief of Police, Timothy Escola, and his recently hired part time officer Janine England - one of the 29 officers in the department - had to travel to the Cincinnati area to bring a burglary suspect back to Stark County. It was a long drive - almost seven hours.
With the in-car-video-camera going and a prisoner laying down in the back seat, Chief Escola decided to pass the time teaching officer England some of the more intimate details of policing. Officer England was a willing student and evidently already well versed in the topic although she seemed to forget about Click It or Ticket. Chief Escola also managed to display his multi-tasking driving ability. The following training video has a split screen featuring the roadway and in-car events.
I wonder how many police agencies in this country have shining mission statements and lofty alleged goals yet remain plagued with abundant personnel unwilling to fulfill those goals?
Chief Escola resigned after the intimacy training event was anonymously brought to the attention of town leaders but nothing will happen to officer Janine England as she remains with the Perry Township Police Department. I cannot figure out that logic.
Oh, and the burglary suspect... the charges were dropped the next day.

Can't the two of them get a room? After hours, of course. I wish their love life well, but if they engage in it during cop hours and in a cop car, a citizen review committee really needs to know about it.
