More updates on the Houston PD narcotics scandal:
Readers of this blog know Grits is a solutions-oriented guy, so stick with me because I've got one here. The audit of the Houston PD Nar...
This audit doesn't provide a smoking gun to prove that other officers in the division abused their positions in the way Gerald Goines and Stephen Bryant allegedly did. But it showed that, if that were the case, processes were so lax that supervisors likely would never have caught them. Houston narcotics officers have grown accustomed to operating in a system with virtually no meaningful oversight over their work.
The HPD narcotics division includes about 175 officers broken out into squads of 8-12 officers. The audit analyzed cases from the two officers at the center of the inquiry - Gerald Goines and Stephen Bryant - as well as batches of cases from several other squads, revealing hundreds of problems with the casework.
It's filled with juicy tidbits, especially about Goines and Bryant. Goines most common casework error should have been a red flag: "failed to tag the drugs into the evidence box at the end of his shift 48% of the time."
Goines and Bryant also both routinely committed to informant payments without supervisory approval and got payments approved after the fact, which takes the supervisor out of the decision making loop and is contrary to policy.
About a third of the time, case files included no "Case Review Sheets." This is subtly important because it's how the police bureaucracy exercises supervisory control over the casework. Both a sergeant and a lieutenant are supposed to sign off on that document to ensure its completeness. But a third of the time, it doesn't exist. This was true across squads, to a greater or only slightly lesser extent.
When the casework was there, some squads had more than 25% of their cases dinged for lack of "thoroughness." Reports and case tracking were routinely late - sometimes many months late.
The whole thing was a byzantine mess revealing few systems in place that anyone felt obliged to adhere to, and an overweening focus on the lowest level drug busts, mainly in black and brown communities. If you're a cop in the Narcotics Division and weren't doing crappy work, you likely were sitting next to someone who was and never said anything. There's not much to salvage here."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Here's a story from CBC news posted today about an RCMP officer who is my wife's cousin. This woman has been mentally disturbed from a young age, scaring the shit out of my wife with her general depravity when they were kids. She's been largely kept out of contact.
In addition to this reported case of sexual assault, she was previously in the news for marrying a fellow RCMP officer who she had convicted of pedophilia. She had 4 kids with this pedophile, 2 of them after she found out! This woman is sick, and a literal menace to her community. As a rookie, investigating a rapist, she grabbed the genitals of her male co-worker and told him she liked to "take it from behind". Slap on the wrist, docked pay, sensitivity training.
Pathetic how protected pigs are. She probably makes $200K+ per year while these sexual assaults happened as she was a rookie, exposing her children to a known pedophile while assaulting co-workers. This is why all LEOs cannot be trusted. The sick fucks are protected like mafia.

Here's the first time this officer was in the news. I believe she had at least one child while knowing he was a pedo, but the article claims she knew for a month before turning him in, so I'm not sure where family rumors mix with the news. While he was fully binging on booze and cocaine, she was blackmailing him to sign over all his assets OR ELSE she would turn him in. She may have also been the one downloading the images while he was incapacitated. She certainly seems capable given her background.
One officer sent to jail, the other blackmailing sexual assaulting, child endangering piece of shit given a huge payout, keeps her job to assault others, when found guilty, keeps her job again... it never ends.
