After over a year of investigations into more than a decade of misconduct within the Greece Police Department with a total price tag of just over $931,000, Director of Public Safety Joseph Loszynski says "justice has been served."
The 86-page document released today includes 27 allegations and findings, the creation of an Internal Affairs Bureau and a series of recommendations by the Public Safety Director to correct several significant problem areas.
"I am convinced that these situations will never occur again," said Loszynski.
The investigation was released free of names, a decision Loszynski says was made on the basis of "certain expectations to privacy."
Of the 38 cases under investigation, Loszynski said most of the cases did involve the behavior and misconduct of previous convicted Chief of Police, Merritt Rahn.
In response to accusations that investigations could have been conducted sooner, Town Supervisor John Auberger said "it comes down to an issue of trust."
"I had no reason to believe that there was a major dysfunction," said Auberger.
The town could not say at this time how much it will cost taxpayers to implement the new changes set forth in the report.
