Long Island has grabbed some national attention today, though it’s nothing we should be proud of.
Four police officers from Fire Island’s Ocean Beach police department were asked to surrender today to face unspecified criminal charges. The event is tied to the firing of five officers last week who, after they were let go, claimed the Ocean Beach department is run like a fraternity house.
From the Associated Press story:
Last week, five former police officers claimed they were wrongfully fired by acting Police Chief George Hesse, who they said associated with a drug dealer, had sex in department headquarters and covered up cases of brutality.
