Detective Forwarded Explicit Photo of Female Suspect, Audit Finds
Another case of a law enforcement officer secretly obtaining an explicit photo of a female arrestee emerged Wednesday with the release of an independent police auditor’s report on a Palo Alto detective who forwarded a burglary suspect’s picture to his supervisor.
The report, which includes no names or dates and only summarizes the department’s internal probe, says the detective received some type of discipline, but the auditor told this newspaper that he remains on the force.
Police Auditor Mike Gennaco said the case was not forwarded to a district attorney’s office for review, despite a recent similar California Highway Patrol case that resulted in felony computer theft charges.
