State Police Advisory Commission releases synopsis of misconduct investigations involving Vermont State Police troopers

STATE POLICE ADVISORY COMMISSION

 

State Police Advisory Commission releases synopsis of misconduct investigations involving Vermont State Police troopers

 

WATERBURY, Vermont (Monday, March 18, 2024) — The Vermont Department of Public Safety and the State Police Advisory Commission today are releasing the seventh semiannual detailed summary of internal investigations involving members of the Vermont State Police.

 

The release of these detailed synopses began in January 2021 and is designed to provide greater transparency, public awareness, and oversight to the activities of the Vermont State Police, while balancing rules regarding internal investigations and the need to have internal investigations completed before public dissemination.

 

A report attached to this statement contains synopses of the 15 matters that came before SPAC from Jan. 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023.

 

The summary shows that of the 15 incidents, 11 arose as the result of a concern raised internally by members of the Vermont State Police, while four came to the attention of supervisors following a report from the community. Two incidents involved multiple troopers.

 

Eleven troopers were found to have violated VSP policy. Three troopers were determined to have committed no policy violation. In four other cases, the troopers involved resigned before the internal investigation review process concluded.

 

Cases involved instances related to compliance with the Vehicle Pursuit Policy; an allegation of criminal conduct; actions during a missing persons investigation; engagement in unbecoming conduct; the negligent discharge of a firearm; participation in the court process; and conduct during a search.

 

Synopses in the report do not include identifying information about the troopers involved, which is confidential as a matter of law.

 

 

About SPAC

The State Police Advisory Commission was created by statute in 1979 and is comprised of seven members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Vermont Senate. Among the duties of SPAC is to provide civilian oversight of the Vermont State Police and to advise and counsel the Commissioner of Public Safety in his/her overall responsibilities for the management, supervision and control of the Vermont State Police.

 

In addition, SPAC is statutorily empowered to provide advice and counsel to the Commissioner of Public Safety to ensure appropriate action is taken with respect to allegations of misconduct by Vermont State Police officers. To assist the Commissioner of Public Safety and SPAC, Vermont law also requires DPS to maintain an Office of Internal Investigations (IA), whose sole responsibility is to investigate allegations of misconduct by members of the Vermont State Police. The IA Office, staffed with a Vermont State Police commander, reports directly to the Commissioner.

 

The current SPAC members are highly respected professionals and represent a cross-section of Vermont. They are Chairwoman Nancy Sheahan; Vice Chairman Glenn Boyde; and members Allison Crowley, John Filipek, June Heston, Shirley Jefferson, and Mary Alice McKenzie.

 

SPAC meetings generally are held bi-monthly and are open to the public (except when SPAC is in executive session). Meeting dates can be found on the DPS website by clicking the SPAC link under “Committees and Boards.”

 

 

About the IA process

The Department of Public Safety IA Office receives allegations of misconduct or improper conduct by a Vermont state trooper in two ways. First, the public may lodge a complaint by telephone, through the Vermont State Police website, via email, or in person. These allegations are called “citizen complaints.” In addition, each VSP member is obligated to promptly report any evidence or allegation of misconduct or improper conduct involving a state trooper. These reports are referred to as “employee complaints.”

 

Not all complaints rise to the level of requiring a formal internal affairs investigation. These are typically handled by the station or unit commander. For instance, a complaint about a trooper speeding on the highway normally would be handled by the station or unit commander. More serious allegations, as determined by the Commissioner, are opened as formal internal affairs investigations. In the case of an allegation of misconduct that consists of criminal conduct, the internal investigation typically is stayed pending the conclusion of a criminal investigation and/or prosecution by appropriate prosecutorial authorities. Once an internal affairs investigation is complete, the Commissioner determines what disciplinary action, if any, is appropriate and should be imposed. The entire case is then reviewed by the State Police Advisory Commission to ensure appropriate action has been taken.

 

Vermont law requires that all internal investigations “shall be confidential” except in limited circumstances. Accordingly, specific details beyond the synopses regarding these 2023 investigations cannot be made public.
