While a seat belt ticket is less than a speeding ticket, Donchez said these officers falsified police documents, and that simply won`t be tolerated.
“We believe this is an isolated incident," he said. "We apologize to the community for the actions of a few. This department prides itself on integrity, and the public’s trust is a priority.”
The District Attorney's Office is aware of the officers' misconduct, and it`s up to that department whether or not to charge the officers. Donchez said he doesn`t think that will happen since the three officers resigned.
Donchez spoke to reporters Wednesday afternoon. Watch the full news conference in the video player below.
