Scores of FBI employees have been caught over the last five years engaging in unethical and illegal conduct such as driving drunk, stealing property, assaulting a child, mishandling classified documents, and losing their service weapons — but they often escaped being fired, according to internal disciplinary files provided to Just The News.
But in the end, the bureau resumed publishing them because of the belief it might sensitize workers in the future to avoid committing crimes or violations of conduct policies, "OPR suspended sending our quarterly email that details employee misconduct and its consequences," the April 2022 email noted, explaining: "We wanted to weigh the value of publishing this information with the discomfort employees harmed by misconduct may feel at its having been published."
"I was seeing that in a lot of cases, particularly in the DUIs, there was not many dismissals," retired Assistant Director Kevin Brock said. "
"I'm a believer in radical transparency," he said. "
The agent was later charged with a misdemeanor, yet suspended from duty for only two weeks.
Another 60-day suspension was handed down after an employee used their credentials "to intimidate" workers at "a child's day care center and, in a separate matter, to obtain law enforcement information from the local police regarding a friend's suicide."
