The Broward County Sheriff's Office Professional Review Board recommended the suspension of detectives who falsified reports "to make it appear they were solving more crimes than they really were." The suspension were never implemented. Instead, the detectives were transferred to road patrol.

The Broward State Attorney's Office also is conducting an investigation into whether other BSO deputies falsified confessions on official documents.

Meanwhile, Sgt. Raleigh Barnett, the only police detective in Dayton, Kentucky, "resigned after being charged with failing to investigate an allegation of sexual abuse against a child." Barnett failed to investigate the allegations when conducting a background check on a police officer who applied for a position in the Dayton police department. Allen Peace was hired for that position, then fired after officials learned of his arrest for the sexual abuse of an 11-year-old girl.

Less serious allegations contributed to the firing of police sergeant Glenn Pearson in Whitman, Massachusetts: he showed poor judgment by "bringing a stripper to a class he taught at Massasoit Community College."

It was alleged the stripper performed lap dances in the class and students were allowed to touch her, claims that Pearson has repeatedly denied.
