TROY, NY – The city police drug unit is under investigation for allegedly filing a false burglary report in an attempt to cover up entering a home without a search warrant, several city government sources said Friday.
The drug unit went to the residence on a tip from another Capital Region police agency, according to the sources who were provided information on the case but are not authorized to speak about it.
The alleged coverup resulted in a "fractious argument" among the members of drug unit, which is commanded by Sgt. Ron Epstein, the sources said.
Mayor Patrick Madden said the members of the Firearms Interdiction and Narcotics Suppression (FINS) unit were all placed on leave in a personnel matter involving certain officers' conduct "during a particular occasion."
"An internal investigation has been commenced to protect the integrity of the Troy Police Department and reassure the public's continued trust and confidence in our law enforcement officials," Madden said in a written announcement Friday.

There ain't nothing you fear more than a bad headline, now, is there? You'd rather live in shite than let the world see you work a shovel.

They better get unsuspended quick, or else it will be a week before the drugs take over the city.

You cannot accomplish this by having an internal investigation. The higher ups in the police department have as much to lose if a truly independent investigation places any of the blame on them or reveals any form of negligent conduct in relation to this matter.

Agreed. An investigation would only hurt the police and their ability to protect citizens, just let them do their jobs.

"This drug thing, this ain't police work. No, it ain't. I mean, I can send any fool with a badge and a gun up on them corners and jack a crew and grab vials. But policing? I mean, you call something a war and pretty soon everybody gonna be running around acting like warriors. They gonna be running around on a damn crusade, storming corners, slapping on cuffs, racking up body counts. And when you at war, you need a fricking enemy. And pretty soon, damn near everybody on every corner is your fricking enemy. And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing, that's just occupied territory."

If you think internal investigations into police corruption issues are about protecting citizens you are a fool. It's about protecting themselves.

Oh I agree, that's why we need to stop these investigations and let the police do their jobs.

I bet they have matching black t shirts with some sort of shark symbol and they wear them 2 sizes too small to show off their roided out guns

How are they supposed to do their jobs when they keep having to answer subpoena and be grilled by some pink foot SJW lawyer? All the while the people are out there with no protection and no foodstamps.

Exactly why they need to end. This aggression cannot stand man.
