At least 12 current officers in western Wisconsin were fired or forced out from previous jobs in law [View all]

At least 12 current officers in western Wisconsin were fired or forced out from previous jobs in law enforcement

At least 12 law enforcement officers currently working in La Crosse County and the surrounding areas have been fired or forced out from previous jobs in law enforcement, according to an investigation by The Badger Project.

One major study found that these “wandering officers” who were fired or forced out from one law enforcement agency and hired at another were more likely to commit violations and be fired again.

Most of these officers in western Wisconsin were young and failed to pass their new-hire probation, a period that can last up to 18-24 months when the bar to fire an officer can be very low.

But some were forced out for more serious conduct.

I don't care what the reason is... Any officer fired or forced out should never be allowed to work in law enforcement again.
