Haysville police officer Serg. Kevin Sexton addressed the City Council, reading a prepared statement. His address was in response to remarks that were made at the City Council Meeting on January 8 regarding and an investigation into alleged improprieties within the police department. Remarks referred to were made by Coucilmen Joe Holub and Keith Pierce on the 8th and were directed towards the Police Chief . Sexton said that the comments led “some to believe that multiple improprieties may be occurring within the police department.” He went on to say that “ although there was no comment on how many officers were allegedly involved, or even what was occurring, it left the public to ponder and question the integrity of every officer in this department.” Sergeant Sexton continued, expounding on the dedication and hard work of the police department and that the public comments made at the January meeting caused department morale to drop. The comments Sexton referred to were made during the Council Concerns part of the agenda in January. Sexton stressed that he has no ill will and stressed that if there ever are improprieties “involving any of the officers, Chief McElroy and the staff will deal with each situation privately and per city policy.” Sexton ended by thanking the board for the opportunity to address them.
