What should happen here. Rookie Trooper Caught stealing @ Gun Store.

[BehindBlueI's]

I knew of one training Sergeant who kept personal copies of all his recommendations and the documentation supporting them regarding problem children being fired because he believed when the big lawsuit hit the official ones would disappear, Admin would pass the buck down to him, and leave him holding the bag. He wasn’t going to have any part of that.

They don't disappear. They get modified without your input but still have your name on them. I also keep my originals and was pretty vocal about doing so.

A 10-day suspension and a transfer out of the State Police Troop H barracks in Hartford is the recommended punishment for a rookie state trooper accused of a theft last summer from a gun shop in Newington, according to information obtained by CT Examiner.

Under the proposal, Trooper Romello Lumpkin will be transferred to the State Police Troop D barracks in Danielson effective Feb. 25, according to a personnel order obtained by CT Examiner that was signed by State Police Commissioner James Rovella and distributed to all state police barracks and other units.

It’s not lost on me that he stole a 12 round magazine, which as a simple civilian, would be a crime for me to even possess.

Figures. Hopefully the other troops will deal with him.

I'm sure prosecutors in eastern CT are just thrilled as they look forward to having to decide what to do with cases in which he is the state's main witness.

Around here, we call it "Fuck Up Move Up". What's it called by you guys?

Just another day at the circus.

To be honest, I think it is a growing issue profession wide. We are accepting and retaining applicants that we never would have considered before, due to crushing staffing shortages...

Couldn't agree more.

Oh no, he bought the 12 rounder and stole the 10, unless I’m misreading the accounts. It’s much dumber than you think.

[boing]

You’re right, it is dumber than I think. He pocketed the 12 rd mag, and put the 10 rd mag into the box for the 12 rd mag, and paid for that.

Maybe the disciplinary committee felt sorry for him.
