Internal affairs investigation finds police officers who arrested nurse violated a number of department policies - A review by an independent Police Civilian Review Board also sustained findings against the two officers.

An internal affairs investigation into two Salt Lake City police officers involved in the arrest of a University Hospital nurse has found several department policies were violated during the July 26 confrontation.

Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski announced the investigation findings Wednesday in a news conference at City Hall. In addition, she discussed a recently-completed review by the city’s independent Police Civilian Review Board, which also found the officers violated department policies.

Detective Jeff Payne and his watch commander, Lt. James Tracy, now have 20 days to respond to the internal affairs investigation, after which Chief Mike Brown will use the reports to make a decision on the officers’ future.

Tracy and Payne could face consequences as severe as termination by the department. A criminal investigation into the incident also continues, involving the Unified Police Department, the FBI and the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office.

I find it Ironic that as the punishments and backlash stack up on these two men that the video captures a hospital employee saying over speaker phone just before the arrest "Sir, you are making a huge mistake. Like you are making a huge mistake bercause you are threatening a nurse..."
