Most of you have probably heard the story but its now been released that the man convicted is a police officer. What I find disturbing is he has been convicted and remains on paid leave, he should have been booted out the door the second he was found guilty.

He brings the police force into disrepute and the initial judge giving him suppression didn't help either.

Full story here.

With anything like this the Police will need to manage the disciplinary action and dismissal correctly to avoid come back. It is a time consuming process with a lot of gotchas along the way.

While most reasonable people would agree this is true, I think this particular time frame is unreasonable. The cost to the tax payer is absurd, and 2.5 years to resolve is way-way too long (understatement).

You would probably find a person employed by the private or corporate sector would have been dismissed instantly or paid out their "gardening leave" and left at that. That the police let this happen for 2.5 years makes you think they are on his side.
I got respect for the police as people, Not as a force.

Me too. What a service but what a boys club
