A New York peace officer who worked for 17 years at Syracuse University's Department of Public Safety was decertified after misconduct charges and then hired by the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office and then fired from his job there.⁠ ⁠ An investigation by NewhouseSU journalism students, the USA TODAY Network and Central Current found that the decertification process, enacted in 2016 in New York as one of the state’s strongest discipline tools against wayward officers, has failed to keep police officers around the state from donning the badge again. ⁠ ⁠ See the joint investigation into police misconduct via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ #PoliceMisconduct #PoliceAccountability #JournalismMatters⁠ ⁠
