The initial reports to the union and an audit further uncovered other instances of theft spanning over the past year, as well as 'improprieties found related to the sale, purchase and transfer of firearms' at the union store.
Several law enforcement agencies are investigating allegations of theft and other potential crimes believed to have involved an employee of the Deputy Sheriff's Association of San Diego and its union store.
Mike O'Deane, President of the Deputy Sheriff's Association of San Diego , alerted union members via email earlier this week that he was made aware of"discrepancies involving purchases made using DSA funds" by the union's former store manager.After the union was notified of these incidents, it launched an internal audit and determined potential criminal theft had taken place.
Lt. Alex Navarro, a Sheriff's Department spokesperson, confirmed that on the morning of Jan. 31, a deputy from the department's Poway station responded to the union's office to investigate"a report of a potential theft by an employee." Navarro added,"No Sheriff's Department employees are implicated in any wrongdoing at this time and we do not believe that there will be."
The initial reports to the union, and their subsequent audit further uncovered other instances of theft spanning over the past year, as well as"improprieties found related to the sale, purchase and transfer of firearms" at the union store.
