Despite multiple investigations and despite the city’s numerous attempts to let him go, Sgt. German Bosque, 48, of the Opa-locka, Fla., Police Department is the $60,000-a-year police officer who can’t be fired.

He has been accused of car theft, beating juveniles, falsifying reports, boarding a plane with a loaded gun, possession of narcotics, and stealing from suspects. He has been disciplined for driving with a suspended license, disobeying direct orders, and engaging in high-speed chases (one of which involved four deaths).

And then there’s this little gem [via the Miami Herald]:

   In February 2008 … the state attorney’s office began noticing that key drug evidence in some of his cases was missing. [Bosque’s] police car was inspected, and investigators found an empty Smirnoff vodka bottle, a small bag of cocaine, crack pipes, Florida license plates, a pile of driver’s licenses he had seized, along with a stack of arrest reports he had never turned in.

He was expelled from police academy twice and fired from two other departments before joining the Opa-locka force. He has a mile-long record of misconduct and has been investigated dozens of times by the police. He has been arrested and jailed three times and fired at least six. He has been disciplined more than any officer in the Sunshine State, according to the Daily Mail, and yet, he’s still on the payroll.

was no evidence of criminal intent,” the Miami Herald reports."

We can't find any record of him being employed here still. Through some glitch in the system he still gets his paycheck.

Soooo, you're going to fire him?

No, no. You don't understand. We just fixed the glitch. We figure it'll work itself out.

Yep. It's not that he can't be fired. They don't have the balls to shine a light on activities like his because of what else it might reveal. Just like the catholic bishops who hid pedos these higher ups don't want to admit there might be a problem and so ignore the bad eggs.

You have to understand Opa Locka to have even a glimpse as to how bad things truly are there. I was a police officer for 13 years with a neighboring city. My ex worked there for 7 years as well.

German is only half as bad as some of the officers there. I can tell you things about that department that would make your heads absolutely explode.


It's so bad that theFDLE, FBI and the DOJ have threatened to shut the department down on several occasions  and let the county take over.


There is one reason for the problems there.

I could tell you what it is but I would get banned.

Jesus!  The HR person and hiring team that decided to make that guy a job offer at his current PD should all be fired!  I'm an HR manager, nothing says high risk hire more than someone who has recently been fired, or who has 2 or more terminations over the course of their career.  Probability laws alone indicate the person who has been fired multiple times will be a poor performer.  I'm guessing they have a hard time filling positions, which doesn't make sense.  Wonder how many other poor performers they have in that dept.

It's not just Opa Locka to be fair, it's south Florida law enforcement culture in general.

I could write a novel as thick as war and peace on the corruption in Dade county law enforcement. Stories of robbery, theft, drugs, sexual assaults,.......homicides.

Actually it would remind me why I left S Florida and why a lot of retired LEOS get the fuck out of that environment and move out of state.Truth is stranger than fiction.People complain about small town cops here and I have to laugh because they are saints compared to some Ive known.Hopefully the corrupt ones get prison but more than likely will be promoted to Captain.
