Police Commission terminates appointment of an assistant patrol special who never served
Summary
The commission voted to terminate the assistant patrol special appointment of Moises Romero, a housekeeping action after staff said Romero was appointed but never sworn in and accepted another job; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Police Commission approved a motion on Feb. 5 to terminate the assistant patrol special status of Moises Romero.
Inspector testimony noted Romero had been appointed at an earlier meeting but was never sworn in, never issued a star or ID, and never worked as an assistant patrol special. Staff said Romero pursued and accepted work with the Department of Homeland Security and did not respond to repeated department contacts. Commissioners described the action as a housekeeping matter to clear him from the rolls.
Commissioner Chan moved the motion, it was seconded, and the commission voted "Aye" to terminate the appointment.
Separately, the commission voted to go into closed session on litigation and disciplinary matters (a motion to enter closed session was moved and approved), later returned to open session and passed a disclosure vote (voice vote) regarding the closed-session matter.
Ending: The termination was administrative and unanimous; the commission proceeded into and later out of closed session and adjourned in the memory of Sergeant Michael J. Hutchins.
