Bremerton, WA — A 15-year veteran special forces cop with the Bremerton Police Department was allowed to quietly resign this week amid allegations that he stole money during a drug raid in 2019. Despite clear video evidence of this cop committing a crime while on duty, Det. Jeffrey Inklebarger was not arrested and allowed to resign from the department before he was fired.
According to the report, Inklebarger was part of a team serving a search warrant over drug operation allegations at a home in February 2019. As this hero cop kept society “safe” from people voluntarily exchanging and ingesting substances, he was robbing them. His blatant theft was captured on multiple hidden cameras inside the home.
After watching the cop rob him, the homeowner brought the video to the attention of Bremerton Police officials last month through his attorney and an investigation was opened. According to the incident report:
After viewing the video, the Bremerton Police Department took immediate action and Detective Inklebarger was placed on administrative leave. The Bremerton Police Department had no direct involvement in the criminal investigation. Detective Inklebarger was interviewed by Tacoma Police detectives on Friday, January 17, 2020. Tacoma Police investigators provided a preliminary briefing to Chief Burchett immediately following that interview. Detective Inklebarger was served with a notice of intended termination and Mr. Inklebarger resigned in lieu of termination on January 25, 2020.
After the incident, police themselves actually released the video in a show of transparency but they’ve yet to file any charges against this criminal cop. They have only released a statement claiming that this top cop stealing money on video doesn’t reflect the behavior of the rest of the department.
“We value the trust that the community has in the Bremerton Police Department and we will continue to work every day to earn and maintain that trust,” said Chief James Burchett. “Once we were made aware of the possible theft, we acted immediately. This was a betrayal of the oath of office and the law enforcement profession. Mr. Inklebarger’s actions do not reflect the values of the Bremerton Police Department nor are they representative of the ethical, hard working men and women of the Department.”...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/video-clearly-catches-cop-stealing-cash-from-a-home-and-hes-not-arrested/261486
