Detective Newton

Do the citizens of Pacific feel the same way as the City Attorney, Officer Calkins, or the City Council?” After they discussed Detective Newton’s behavior and actions in Executive Session last week, they put him back to work. No disciplinary action was taken, period. Here are documents explaining what this is all about…read it and you decide if the city did the right thing, or was Mayor Cy correct in putting him on paid administrative leave while he had this situation investigated.

1. “Letter received” – A letter received April 9, 2013, concerning alleged misbehavior of Officer Newton. This is a letter sent to Mayor Sun and Chief Calkins or the acting Police Chief. It is requesting a thorough investigation of Detective Newton and his actions.”
