Dishonest officers sacked
TWO DETECTIVES have been booted out of the police force in disgrace after being found guilty of stealing confiscated cash following a 39-day police disciplinary hearing – and a £1m investigation that lasted three years.

Former Oak Lawn cop charged wi

A former Oak Lawn police officer facing misconduct charges for allegedly extorting money during traffic stops was arrested this week and accused of stealing a gun, police said.

Steve Harrison, 27, faces one count of official misconduct in the gun case and was released on recognizance after appearing in the Bridgeview courthouse on Wednesday, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.

Officials said Harrison, who was convicted of drug possession this year, was on duty at the Oak Lawn Police Department in August 2007 when a civilian surrendered two handguns. Harrison allegedly kept one gun.

He also is accused of pulling over drivers and telling them that if they did not pay him, they would go to jail.
