No cellphones. No computers. No visitors, including their children's playmates, unless they're on an approved list. And absolutely no leaving the house, unless they're strapped to a stretcher and heading to the hospital for emergency care.
Those were just some of the restrictions a federal judge set yesterday while granting bail for two Boston police officers who are charged with conspiring to traffic cocaine and heroin, in one of the department's biggest corruption cases.

Eustis police sergeant resigns
EUSTIS — Veteran police Sgt. Erik Luce tendered his resignation after an internal investigation into the misappropriation of city funds for personal use, according to a memo sent out to city employees.
The Police Department's Office of Professional Standards began its internal investigation into Luce's "untruthfulness regarding a request for time off and his failure to comply with a subpoena to appear for a deposition in an ongoing criminal case," according to the memo dated June 9.
The probe was expanded to look at the misappropriation of city funds. The issue concerns Luce's personal use of city money that was supposed to be used for course work under the city's tuition reimbursement program. The amount involved was $601.20.
Police Chief Fred Cobb said the case shows that his administration "demands truthfulness and integrity" from its employees.
"There is a sense of loss. Why wouldn't there be?" Cobb said. "We care a great deal about the men and women that work for me."
But Cobb added that Luce's "offenses warranted termination."
However, because of his past performance, his accepting responsibility for his actions and his decision to pay back the funds, department officials decided to let Luce resign, says the memo, signed by Deputy Chief R.A. Robinson.
Cobb said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will get a copy of the report involving Luce and records of the investigation will be available to other police departments should Luce seek employment as an officer again.
Luce has been with the Eustis department since 1998. His resignation takes effect Saturday. "His talents and skills will be sorely missed," Robinson said. "However, Sergeant Luce [violated] the trust placed in him as a supervisor and failed to maintain the high standard expected of our employees, compromising his ability to continue to serve as a sworn member of this department."
