KFDM had breaking news at 6 pm on the Spa Sex Scandal.
The City of Beaumont released a court document filed by Police Chief Frank Coffin in which he condemns the actions two officers who had repeated sex with Chinese prostitutes as part of an undercover operation into two West End massage parlours.
Chief Coffin condemned the conduct of the two officers Det. Breiner and Lt. Kiker as unprofessional and a discredit to the department.
The documents say there was no logical reason for the officers to engage in repeated sex acts with prostitutes to make a misdemeanor case and that their actions weren't approved by the department.
In remarks addressed to Detective Breiner: "...Beaumont Police Department employees are not supposed to, or expected to, have sex with prostitutes. I have concerns that your conduct may have prejudiced the prosecution of unrelated sex crimes that have been investigated by you. Your moral character, judgment and professionalism have now been brought into question. Your conduct reflects discredit upon the Police Department and brings it into disrepute. It has impaired the Department's operation and resulted in diminished public trust and respect from citizens. Your actions have subjected other members to scorn and ridicule."

I think it's time for Breiner and Kiker to do the right thing: drop their suits and move on.
Chief Coffin has taken the bull by the horns and it's time for the BPD to get their act together and put this scandal behind them.
This was a good start.

Apparently you have no clue how a military structured organization works. It is Chief Coffin's head who should be on the chopping block, and he knows it. If anyone should drop anything, the chief should take responsibility for the actions of his officers. Instead, they have been left to burn in a fire fueled by lies. These officers did their job, regardless of what the ignorant public thinks. If the public is that offended at the actions of these officers, which were COMPLETELY LEGAL, and not in violation of department policy, then its time to elect city officials who will correct department policies to reflect such desires.

Sex sting under scrutiny

"...Asked if an officer would have violated department policy by engaging in sexual activity, Coffin said he did not want to discuss details of the case until the investigation was concluded. "We have BASIC ETHICAL STANDARD we expect everybody to
adhere to," Coffin said. "That's what will be looked at."
Acually I do understand that the police is structured like a military organization, minus the union part, and the Chief said he didn't like the actions of the officers involved...END OF STORY.
You can attempt to blame it on the media and "ignorant public" but this has nothing to do with the "ignorant public" that was "offended" by the actions of Officers Breiner and Kiker.
The "ignorant public" wasn't even aware of of it until about 2 weeks after Capt. Ownby asked Breiner about his actions and informed Breiner that the Chief was upset about the way the investigation was conducted.
Try again.
