Dallas police chief fires four
Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle on Thursday fired four officers.
The firings bring to 62 the number of officers fired by Kunkle since he became chief in 2004. Fired after private meetings with the chief were:
• Officer Larry Bankston, for working off-duty security jobs at apartment complexes while skipping his police job and falsely collecting worker’s comp.
• Senior Cpl. Edward Mindieta, for allowing a woman who had been a drug informant access to an apartment he rented at a reduced rate.
• Officer Fernando Perez, for using a department car to drive to and from work after his private vehicle had been repossessed.
• Senior Cpl. Anthony Williams, for failing to respond to an emergency call. Investigators found that he ignored the call while he argued with a former girlfriend.
Two of the men had both been fired before for other infractions, and then reinstated on appeal. One was fired and reinstated twice.
Police chiefs around the nation have complained for years that officers fired for serious misconduct are frequently returned to the job by civil service boards, administrative law judges or other city officials.
“They’re going to great lengths to do their job and it gets undercut,” said Sam Walker, a nationally known police accountability expert.
“It’s a huge issue,” he said. “It sends a terrible message. It just undermines the disciplinary system and undermines the morale of the good officers. It sends a message that when push comes to shove, there’s a good chance that you’ll win.”
