Heading: Buy Fund Investigation

Text: 14 In April 1994, Chadwick began an investigation of the buy fund in the Narcotics Unit which Stanley supervised prior to his transfer. The fund's accounting records contained inconsistencies, but there was no evidence money was missing. Stanley passed a polygraph test. 15 After the internal investigation, the City Auditor's audit revealed that department members had not completed the proper paperwork when receiving money from the buy fund. Chadwick issued a written reprimand to Stanley in August 1994, for violating departmental policy by failing to ensure that the officers under his command properly completed the paperwork to utilize the buy fund. Stanley maintains that the reprimand was undeserved and asserts that his officers properly completed the paperwork. The reprimand does state that Stanley received very little guidance as to what was expected from [him]. Chadwick met with Stanley to inform him of the reprimand, and, as Stanley left this meeting, Chadwick asked: How does it feel to be put under the microscope of suspicion?
