Bowling Green suspends officer
BOWLING GREEN - A Bowling Green police officer who improperly tagged a deer he had shot, then lied about it, has been suspended for 30 working days and removed from the Wood County Special Response Team.

Mayor John Quinn issued the suspension to Kristopher Garman, 29, a police officer with the city since February, 2002. He was served with the mayor's decision Wednesday night.

"We were concerned about the lie just as much as we were concerned about the falsification of the form," Mr. Quinn said yesterday. "We think integrity has a very important place in our police departm... Read more

Officer who accused Met of rac

A controversial senior police officer has failed in his bid for promotion to the highest ranks of the service, The Guardian can reveal.
Ali Dizaei this morning failed to become a commander in the Metropolitan Police. Chief superintendent Dizaei is a stern critic of the police service's record on race. This week he released a book in which he attacks the force for subjecting him to a four-year investigation after accusing him of corruption.

Mr Dizaei runs policing in a west London borough and is legal adviser to the National Black Police Association.

He was one of nine candidates for six vacant posts at the rank of commander. Some will see his failure to gain the promotion as revenge by the force for his critical book.

In his book, Not One of Us, he accused the Met of harassing NBPA members, and attacked those who subjected him to the investigation, which cost at least £3m.

He was suspended amid headline-grabbing allegations of drug use, corruption and threatening national security, but was cleared of minor criminal charges by a jury.

The Met's anti-corruption squad bugged his phones, investigated his bank accounts, tracked him to the US and set him several integrity tests which he passed.

Ch Supt Dizaei was born in Iran and holds dual UK and Iranian citizenship. The Met's investigation was branded a racist witch-hunt by supporters of Mr Dizaei. When he was suspended in January 2001, he was legal adviser to the National Black Police Association and helped officers sue forces for discrimination.

After his acquittal in 2003 the force paid him £80,000 in compensation. In return he dropped a racial discrimination case against the Met.

In a deal reached after pressure from the home secretary at the time, David Blunkett, he also returned to work with the Met declaring his integrity was intact.
