Found “Guilty” of one Group I violation, five Group II violations and one Group III\nviolation. Considering the member’s active discipline history (9/10/2021: seven-day suspension,\n12/9/2021: eight-day suspension, 3/18/2022: twenty-day suspension, 10/31/2022: thirty-day\nsuspension), the member was terminated from employment with the City of Cleveland,\nDepartment of Public Safety, Division of Police effective Monday, November 20, 2023.

The\nofficer was unprofessional and discourteous in his comments to a complainant, failed to\ninvestigate two separate assault allegations when he released an alleged suspect prior to properly\ngathering information from both victims and failed to identify the suspect, and conducted an\nunreasonable search by going into a detained male’s pockets to retrieve a wallet without having\nconsent to do so or having an exception to the search without a warrant rule. In addition, the\nofficer did not limit the detention of an individual to a reasonable amount of time, failed to\nrequest medical attention for an assault victim, was discourteous to an assault victim, and did\nengage in conduct that would constitute the crime of Unlawful Restraint (Ohio Revised Code\n2905.03) when he physically prevented a female from leaving her residence.",

Found “Guilty” of five Group I violations. Considering the officer’s active\ndiscipline history (12/27/2021: 2-day suspension), the officer received a three-day suspension for\nfailing to place his Wearable Camera System into event mode before engaging in a foot pursuit\nand received a Non-disciplinary Letter of Reinstruction for the remaining charges. This\ncorrective action is within the Second Group I violation range of the discipline matrix when\naggravating factors (active discipline) outweigh mitigating factors (none). In addition, the officer\nshall attend retraining through the Training Section on Use of Force Reporting and Procedures.\nRationale: The contact between the officer’s knee and the head of the suspect was momentary\nand incidental as a result of the suspect being taken into custody, and a review of the incident\nindicates that a \"strip search\" did not occur. The officer did fail to place his Wearable Camera\nSystem into event mode before engaging in a foot pursuit. In addition, he failed on multiple\noccasions to place his WCS into an ETM slot by the end of his tour of duty; reinstruction is\nappropriate regarding this instance. The officer reported the use of force incident to his\nsupervisor on-scene and described what he believed to be his use of force – his lack of\nknowledge concerning uses of force caused him to incorrectly report the level of force;\nreinstruction is appropriate regarding this instance. The officer failed to obtain medical\nassistance; however, the suspect did not suffer any visible or incapacitating injuries as a result of\nhis actions and a Stop Form was not completed; reinstruction is appropriate regarding these\ninstances.",

The\nmenacing arrest charge more closely comports with a Group II Violation (conduct that is\ncontrary to the values of the Division, or that interferes with its mission, operations or\nprofessional image, or that involves a demonstrable serious risk to officer or public safety); the\ncharge was amended from a Group III violation to a Group II violation. Found “Guilty” of one\nGroup I violation and seven Group II violations. Considering the member’s active discipline\nhistory (none) the member received an eight-day suspension. This corrective action is within the\nGroup II Violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple violations\narising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum\ngroup range) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline).\nRationale: The charges of taunting and disrespectful language, and disrespectful and insolent\nlanguage during an unwarranted call to a CDP supervisor console are closely related and merged\ninto one Group I violation. The two charges being arrested for OVI and being cited for driver and\npassenger seatbelt are closely related and merged into one Group II violation. The member failed\nto notify the Communications Control Section regarding her absence following her arrest and\nbelieved a patrol supervisor would make the notification. Based on the members arrest for\nMenacing, there is clear and convincing evidence that she made threats to inflict physical harm\nto her neighbors in violation of the Cleveland Codified Ordinance for Menacing. While under\nthis arrest she made retaliatory statements to the arresting/conveying officers, but because her\nstatements were made in a highly intoxicated state and not supported by retaliatory action the\ncharge more closely aligns with Conduct Unbecoming. The member identified herself as a\nCleveland Dispatcher to Lakewood Police Officers during her OVI arrest, she refused to exit her\nvehicle and screamed over the officer while he attempted to read her Miranda Rights. During a\ncall with a Lakewood Police Dispatcher on a recorded line the member stated: “No, I was not\nthinking of Cleveland. Bitch, I know,\" and followed up by saying, “Bitch, I am very\nknowledgeable. I do it for a living.” While engaged with Cleveland Division of Police officers\nduring a call for service in which she was the suspect, she refused to provide her identity to the\nofficers, yelled and spoke over them, and made retaliatory comments to the arresting officers, all\nof which occurred after she identified herself as a Cleveland Division of Police Dispatcher. The\naforementioned conduct would reasonably tend to diminish the esteem of the Division of Police\nin the eyes of the public. Multiple violations arising from a single event or incident may escalate\nthe disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

According to the divisional notice, the menacing-related charge was reduced from a Group III violation to a Group II violation, and charges related to disrespectful and insolent language during an unwarranted call to a CDP supervisor console and the seatbelt citation were dismissed.
\n\nOriginally, Miranda Lopez was accused of:
\n\n- Taunting and disrespectful language, which was merged with the related charge of disrespectful and insolent language during an unwarranted call to a CDP supervisor console into one Group I violation.
\n- Disrespectful and insolent language during an unwarranted call to a CDP supervisor console, which was dismissed and merged with the related taunting and disrespectful language charge.
\n- Sick leave abuse on two counts for failing to notify a supervisor.
\n- Arrest for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which was merged with the related seatbelt citation into one Group II violation.
\n- Citation for driver and passenger seatbelts, which was dismissed and merged with the related OVI charge.
\n- Arrest for menacing, which was amended from a Group III violation to a Group II violation.
\n- Retaliatory statements toward arresting and conveying officers, which was treated instead as conduct unbecoming.
\n- Three counts of conduct that diminished the esteem of the Division.
\n
\n\n\n- Multiple violations arose from a single event or incident, which could escalate the disciplinary action.
\n- Miranda Lopez made threats to inflict physical harm on her neighbors, supporting the menacing charge.
\n- Miranda Lopez made retaliatory statements to arresting and conveying officers while under arrest.
\n- Miranda Lopez identified herself as a Cleveland dispatcher during her OVI arrest, refused to exit her vehicle and screamed over an officer while he attempted to read her Miranda rights.
\n- On a recorded call with a Lakewood police dispatcher, Miranda Lopez used abusive language and invoked her work for Cleveland.
\n- During a call for service in which she was the suspect, Miranda Lopez refused to identify herself, yelled over Cleveland officers and made retaliatory comments after identifying herself as a Cleveland Division of Police dispatcher.
\n- Her conduct reasonably tended to diminish the esteem of the Division in the eyes of the public.
\n
\n\n\n- Miranda Lopez had no active discipline history.
\n- Miranda Lopez believed a patrol supervisor would notify the Communications Control Section about her absence after her arrest.
\n- Her retaliatory statements were made while she was highly intoxicated and were not supported by retaliatory action.

OJ and 5. 01). \n\nDisposition: Found \"Guilty\" of two Group I violations. Considering the officer's active discipline history (4/26/2021: 1-day suspension, 9/17/2021: 2-day suspension), the officer received a six-day suspension. This corrective action is within the First Group II violation range of the discipline matrix where mitigating factors (willingness to accept responsibility and acknowledge wrongdoing) outweigh aggravating factors (active discipline). \n\nRationale: The officer pled \"No Contest\" and accepted responsibility for not filing taxes with the City of Parma and for missing his scheduled court date. A superior officer was immediately notified that there was a warrant issued and the outstanding balance to the City of Parma was paid in full. Subsequently, the case in Parma Municipal Court was dismissed. Because the conduct described in both of these specifications aligns closest to the definition of a Group I Violation ( conduct that has a negative impact on the operations or professional image of the Division), the specifications were amended from Group III Violations to Group I violations",

Found “Guilty” of one Group II\nviolation. Considering the officer’s active discipline history (none), he received a six-day\nsuspension. This corrective action is within the First Group II violation range of the discipline\nmatrix when mitigating factors (no active discipline) outweigh aggravating factors (none).\n\nRationale: After identifying himself as an off-duty Cleveland police officer, the officer’s\nbehavior towards the Parma police officers as noted in their Wearable Camera System footage\nwas far below the expectations of a Cleveland police officer. Stating “I don’t trust Parma cops”\nand referring to a Parma police officer as “Captain Obvious” when the officer flashed his light on\nhim to check for injuries, and was disrespectful which reasonably diminished the esteem of the\nCleveland Division of Police.",

The arbitrator found Guion's misconduct was real — two off-duty OVI convictions within the three-year look-back period and failure to properly handle a domestic violence call — but concluded that the substantial behavioral changes Guion made after his second OVI (32 days of inpatient treatment at the Glenbeigh Center, regular AA attendance, sponsoring others, sustained sobriety) were a genuine mitigating factor the City failed to adequately weigh. As conditions of reinstatement, Guion must, for two years, continue counseling and AA attendance with monthly reporting to the EAU Director and his supervisor, and submit to random blood testing every three months; failure to comply or any alcohol-related disciplinary violation during that period is cause for immediate termination.",

Upon the arrested male being\nevaluated and released from MetroHealth, the member placed him back into his patrol car and\nconveyed him to the County Jail garage where a sergeant interviewed him regarding the force\nused to take him into custody. While interviewing the male, the sergeant saw a suspicious bulge\nin the male’s sweatshirt and found a large pair of pointed scissors, which could easily be used as\na weapon. The member was assisting a superior officer with this arrest, and because several \nofficers were simultaneously searching the male, it was unclear what areas were searched, and as\nsuch, this behavior more closely comports with a Group I violation. While the member was the\ndriver of a Division vehicle, he was involved in an accident which the Traffic Safety Analysis\nPanel found to be preventable. Multiple violations arising from a single event or incident may\nescalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

The member received a thirteen-day suspension. This corrective action is within the\nFirst Group III violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple\nviolations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the\nmaximum group range) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline, accepted partial\nresponsibility).\nRationale: After attempting to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle, the member engaged in an\nunauthorized pursuit when the vehicle fled, he did not notify the Communications Control\nSection (CCS) and did not have permission from a supervisor to pursue the vehicle. After\nactivating his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop, he failed to activate his Wearable\nCamera System (WCS), failed to notify the Radio Dispatcher of the attempted traffic stop and\ndid not document the attempted stop in his Traffic Unit Duty Report or MCAD History.\nAdditionally, it was discovered during an Internal Affairs investigation, that on multiple\noccasions, the member failed to activate his Wearable Camera System (WCS) after observing the\nprobable cause to stop a vehicle and while initiating the traffic stop. The Office of Professional\nStandards (OPS) conducted a parallel investigation into the same incident, and the Civilian\nPolice Review Board (CPRB) found a specification for an unauthorized pursuit violation with a\nGroup III recommendation, five Wearable Camera System (WCS) violations with Group II\nrecommendations, failing to document attempted traffic stop violation with a Group I\nrecommendation and a failure to notify dispatch violation with a Group I recommendation. The\nChief Director of Public Safety issued a formal departure memorandum from the Board’s\nrecommended classifications for several specifications, stating that although the officer engaged\nin an unauthorized vehicle pursuit, there was insufficient evidence to find that the pursuit was the\nproximate cause of the fatal motor vehicle crash, and therefore the pursuit classification should\nbe reduced from a Group III violation to a Group I violation. He departed from the Board’s\nGroup II classifications for the five WCS specifications and recommended they be amended to\nGroup I violations and accepted the Board’s findings for failing to document attempted traffic\nstop violation and failing to notify dispatch violation. Additionally, The Chief Director also\nrecommended that the CPRB’s specifications be merged into the Internal Affairs investigation,\nand the member receive a five-workday suspension without pay as corrective action. The\nCivilian Police Review Board considered the departure memorandum and issued its Amended\nFindings Letter. In the Amended Findings Letter, the Board rejected the recommendation\nregarding the group-level classifications and reaffirmed its original classifications. The Board\nadopted the recommendation to merge duplicative specifications, though with the Board’s higher\ngroup-level controlling. The Civilian Police Review Board reaffirmed its findings and\nmaintained its recommendation for disciplinary action consistent with a Group Level III offense,\ndespite the lack of sufficient evidence that the members actions were the proximate cause of a\ndeath and despite the fact that elevating the five WCS violations from Group I violations to\nGroup II violations is contrary to GPO 1.07.06. The Chief Director is mandated pursuant to the\nCivilian Police Review Board manual (L) and City of Cleveland Charter Section 115-4 to impose\ndiscipline based upon the CPRB order. Multiple violations arising from a single event or incident\nmay escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

The charge of ignoring a supervisor's\nrequest to call base 3-4 times more closely comports with a Group I Violation (conduct that has a\nnegative impact on the operations or professional image of the Division or that negatively\nimpacts relationships with other officers, agencies or the public), the charge was amended from a\nGroup II violation to a Group I violation and the officer received a Non-disciplinary Letter of\nReinstruction for this charge. In addition, the officer received a Non-disciplinary Letter of\nReinstruction for recording a conversation between a supervisor and herself. Found “Guilty” of\ntwo Group I violations and two Group III violations. Considering the officer’s active discipline\nhistory (1/12/2022: three-day suspension), the officer received a fifteen-day suspension for the\nremaining charges. This corrective action is within the Group III Violation range of the\ndiscipline matrix when aggravating factors (active discipline, multiple violations) outweigh\nmitigating factors (accepted partial responsibility).\n\nRationale: The officer failed to safeguard and secure her City-issued equipment, engaged in\ninsubordinate and mutinous behavior towards a supervisor, was insubordinate when she refused\nan overtime mandate and without authorization recorded a conversation with a supervisor. The\ntwo charges of failing to safeguard and secure City-issued equipment were merged to reduce\nduplicity.

The charges of failing to\nassist an outside agency and failing to act were merged into one charge. The charges of failing to\nadvise radio, failing to assist an outside agency/failing to act and diminishing the esteem more\nclosely comport with Group I Violations (conduct that has a negative impact on the operations or\nprofessional image of the Division or that negatively impacts relationships with other officers,\nagencies or the public); the charges were amended from Group II violations to Group I\nviolations. Found “Guilty” of three Group I violations. Considering the member’s active\ndiscipline history (none), the member received a three-day suspension. This corrective action is\nwithin the First Group I violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors\n(multiple violations) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline).\n\nRationale: The member was en route to a Priority-2 assignment when he came upon a multi-\nvehicle accident that blocked the lanes of West Saint Clair Avenue between West 3rd and West\n\n6\nth Streets. Two Strongsville Police vehicles were on scene with their emergency overhead lights\nactivated. Instead of stopping to see if assistance was needed, the member or his partner\nactivated the patrol car’s overhead emergency lights and proceeded to make a U-turn and leave\nthe scene. These actions were covered in a story by Fox 8 news and would reasonably tend to\ndiminish the esteem of the Division of Police or its personnel in the eyes of the public. At no\ntime during his response to the Priority-2 assignment did the member activate his Wearable\nCamera System. Because the member and his partner were en route to a Priority-2 assignment,\nthese actions as noted more closely comport with Group I violations. The charges of failing to\nassist an outside agency and failing to act are closely related and were merged into a single\ncharge. The use of lights and siren relating to emergency response driving is dictated by Ohio\nRevised Code §4511.45 and there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt regarding\nthe member’s response to the Priority-2 assignment and the charge was dismissed. Multiple\nviolations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the\nmaximum group range.",

Found \"Guilty\" of one Group I violation, three Group II violations and one Group III violation. On January 6, 2023, the officer was terminated from employment with the City of Cleveland, Department of Public Safety, Division of Police. This discipline is within the First Group III violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple violations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range, actions caused serious injury or harm to the public) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline). \n\nRationale: The officer displayed conduct that would tend to diminish the esteem of the Division of Police and exhibited a complete disregard for ethical behavior and significantly compromised the reputation of the Division and its mission. The officer failed to properly complete an OH-1 Hit-Skip investigation after receiving information that the operator of one of the vehicles was onscene and returned to the scene on three separate occasions while the officer was present. The officer failed to properly complete an OH-1 Hit-Skip investigation, failed to investigate an aggravated robbery that had taken place, and failed to secure the crime scene. After being shown a video of the crash by a resident whose parked car was struck, the officer failed to include the information/evidence in the investigation, this conduct would tend to reasonably diminish the esteem of the Division of Police. While completing the OH-1 crash report, the officer was untruthful when the report stated that the hit-skip driver was not on-scene. WCS recordings clearly show that the involved female was present while the officer was on-scene at least three separate times and that one of the victims provided the officer with video evidence of the crash. The officer failed to activate the Wearable Camera System when interacting with a driver involved in a motor vehicle crash.

The charges of failing to\nassist an outside agency and failing to act were merged into one charge. The charges of failing to\nadvise radio, failing to assist an outside agency/failing to act and diminishing the esteem more\nclosely comport with Group I Violations (conduct that has a negative impact on the operations or\nprofessional image of the Division or that negatively impacts relationships with other officers,\nagencies or the public); the charges were amended from Group II violations to Group I\nviolations. Found “Guilty” of four Group I violations. Considering the member’s active\ndiscipline history (none), the member received a three-day suspension. This corrective action is\nwithin the First Group I violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors\n(multiple violations) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline).\n\nRationale: The member was en route to a Priority-2 assignment when he came upon a multi-\nvehicle accident that blocked the lanes of West Saint Clair Avenue between West 3rd and West\n\n6\nth Streets. Two Strongsville Police vehicles were on scene with their emergency overhead lights\nactivated. Instead of stopping to see if assistance was needed and notifying radio of this police\nincident of a serious nature, the member or his partner activated the patrol car’s overhead\nemergency lights and proceeded to make a U-turn and leave the scene. These actions were\ncovered in a story by Fox 8 news and would reasonably tend to diminish the esteem of the Division of Police or its personnel in the eyes of the public. At no time during his response to the\nPriority-2 assignment did the member activate his Wearable Camera System. Because the\nmember and his partner were en route to a Priority-2 assignment, these actions, as noted, more\nclosely comport with Group I violations. The charges of failing to assist an outside agency and\nfailing to act are closely related and were merged into a single charge. The use of lights and\nsirens relating to emergency response driving is dictated by Ohio Revised Code §4511.45, and\nthere is insufficient evidence to support a finding of guilt regarding the member’s response to the\nPriority-2 assignment, and the charge was dismissed. Multiple violations arising from a single\nevent or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

Considering the officer's active discipline history (none), the officer received a Written Reprimand. This corrective action is within the First Group I violation range of the discipline matrix when mitigating factors (no active discipline) outweigh aggravating factors (multiple violations). \n\nRationale: There was a previous report from days earlier where a female was a named suspect for domestic violence and that same female had several warrants. The officer failed to investigate who may have been the primary physical aggressor and did not attempt to locate and collect evidence. Because this conduct fits the definition of a Group I Violation ( conduct that has a negative impact on the operations or professional image of the Division or that negatively impacts relationships with other officers, agencies or the public), the Group II violations were amended to Group I violations.

Found “Guilty” of one Group III violation. Considering the member’s active discipline\nhistory (none), the member received a ten-day suspension. This corrective action is within the\nfirst Group III Violation range of the discipline matrix when mitigating factors (no active\ndiscipline, believed gunfire was headed in her direction, very rapidly evolving situation\nrequiring split-second decision making) outweigh aggravating factors (actual or demonstrable\nlegal or financial risk to the Division or the City). In addition, the member will receive training\nregarding the prohibited use of deadly force towards a motor vehicle when a direct threat, outside\nof a vehicle, is not identified.\nRationale: The charge of discharging her service weapon is a result of the action noted in the\nLevel 3 force charge; they were merged. The member and her partner were gathering\ninformation from a radio assignment of threats – suspect on scene, and during her interview of\nthe complainant, the complainant indicated that she believed that damage to her daughter’s\nvehicle came from a bullet striking the vehicle’s windshield. The complainant proceeded to show\nthe member broken glass from the reportedly shot-out car window in the driveway of her\nresidence, and advised that she did not know the whereabouts of her daughter, who was not at\nthe residence. The complainant further expressed concern over the potential for harm to anyone\nin her home by stating that her brother was sleeping on the couch and could have been shot if the\nperson she suspected had shot through the house. Just prior to clearing this call for service, a\nlarge volley of gunshots was heard coming from the area approximately 500 feet from the\nmember’s location. Moments later, as a vehicle (Ford Fusion) was headed toward her location, a\nsecond volley of gunshots was fired. The member reported that she believed the gunfire was\ncoming from the Ford Fusion and that she was now in fear for her life. Video captured the\nmember moving to the front driver’s side of her patrol car and discharging her City-issued pistol\nfour times toward the perceived threat. The Ford Fusion struck the passenger side of the patrol\ncar and continued down the street, away from her location. The member had discharged her\nfirearm at a threat that was not verified and visible as is required. Multiple violations arising\nfrom a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

The\ntwo charges of failing to report an allegation of misconduct, and using force on a male and\nfailing to report it more closely comports with a Group II Violation (conduct that is contrary to\nthe values of the Division, or that interferes with its mission, operations or professional image, or\nthat involves a demonstrable serious risk to officer or public safety), the charges were amended\nfrom Group III violations to Group II violations. The charge of failing to obtain medical\nassistance more closely comports with a Group I Violation (conduct that has a negative impact\non the operations or professional image of the Division or negatively impacts relationships with\nother officers, agencies or the public), the charge was amended from a Group II violation to a\nGroup I violation. Found “Guilty” of four Group I violations, twelve Group II violations and one\nGroup III violation. Considering the officer’s active discipline history (none), the officer’s\nappointment as Commander is revoked and he shall return to his civil service rank of Sergeant\nand receive a 30-day suspension. This corrective action is within the Group III violation range of\nthe discipline matrix when aggravating factors (supervisory or command rank of the officer,\nmultiple violations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to\nthe maximum group range) outweigh mitigating factors (none). In addition, the officer received a\nNon-disciplinary Letter of Reinstruction for not obtaining permission from the investigative\npersonnel to give permission to the on-scene members to turn their Wearable Camera Systems\noff, failing to complete quarterly Wearable Camera System audits and failing to obtain medical\nassistance for a male having difficulty breathing.\nRationale: Both charges of failing to supervise subordinates and failing to: investigate an\nalleged pursuit, report an allegation of misconduct, ensure a Stop Form was completed, and\nensure an interview of a male was captured on video charges were merged into other\nspecifications to reduce duplicative charges. A review of the incident indicates that a \"strip\nsearch\" did not occur and the officer was notified of the suspect's status, conducted an evaluation\nof the suspect, and initiated the call to EMS. The officer was removed from the Unit, which did\nnot afford him the ability to provide proper notification concerning the status of the Unit money,\nnor was an inventory of the contents of the office conducted at the time of his removal. The\nofficer did give permission to on-scene members to turn their Wearable Camera Systems (WCS)\noff before the Force Investigation Team arrived to begin a formal investigation. The officer\nfailed to report an allegation of Misconduct when he was told by a complainant that he was\npunched in the face by an officer and when he was told of an allegation of an improper strip\nsearch. The officer failed to report that force was used on a complainant and failed to obtain\nmedical attention for an individual who was having difficulty breathing after the use of de-\nminimus force by detectives when a citizen informed him that he was allegedly choked, kneed,\npunched, and his head was pushed into the ground. He was discourteous to a male when he\nstated: “Stop it dummy,” when the male was having a medical emergency and failed to obtain\nmedical care from EMS or convey the citizen for medical treatment, causing a delay in treatment. Additionally, the officer failed to properly handle evidence on multiple occasions and\nfailed to complete quarterly Wearable Camera System (WCS) audits.",

The\nmember received a thirty-day suspension. This corrective action is within the First Group III\nviolation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple violations, misuse of\nlaw enforcement database creates public distrust) outweigh mitigating factors (no active\ndiscipline, accepted responsibility, was not placed in a LEADS deny status). In addition, the\nmember entered into a Last Chance Agreement (LCA) with the City of Cleveland and shall\nattend retraining by the Professional Education Section in the appropriate use of law enforcement\ndatabases and the Wearable Camera System (WCS).\nRationale: The member accepted responsibility. She violated Ohio LEADS regulations by\naccessing information related to an Ohio license plate. While off-duty, she observed a vehicle\nparked near her residence and considered it suspicious due to it being occupied. Upon returning\nto work, the member used the LEADS database to obtain information about the vehicle without a\nlegitimate law enforcement purpose and would constitute a crime under the laws of the State of\nOhio. The member violated LEADS regulations by using the LEADS database to retrieve\ninformation related to a vehicle license plate, which did not exist. It occurred approximately\ntwenty minutes after she checked a similar plate number, which she believed was suspicious due\nto being parked, occupied and near her residence. During her Garrity interview, she also\nadmitted to conducting approximately three to four LEADS checks on vehicles parked near her\nresidence. These actions did not serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose and would\nconstitute a crime under the laws of the State of Ohio. The member accessed the Cleveland\nDivision of Police LERMS database for a non-legitimate law enforcement purpose to review a\nreport that involved a criminal complaint that she filed against her ex-boyfriend and while\n\nassigned to the Patrol Section, she visited a residence on West 63rd Street approximately thirty-\nnine times; each visit lasted between nine minutes to two hours and occurred when she was\n\nneither on an approved lunch break nor responding to a call for service. The member left a call\nfor service five times, she did not clear the assignments and visited a residence on West 63rd\nStreet; her duration while visiting the residence lasted approximately thirty-two minutes to one hour before marking the assignments as complete. The member turned off her Wearable Camera\nSystem (WCS) approximately twenty-seven times while on duty in the area of West 63rd Street.\nThe duration for which her WCS was off ranged from approximately eight minutes to two hours.\nMultiple violations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to\nthe maximum group range.",

Considering the member’s active\ndiscipline history (none) the member received a Letter of Reinstruction for the preventable motor\nvehicle crash and a five-day suspension for the remaining charges. This corrective action is\nwithin the Group I violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple\nviolations arising from a single event or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the\nmaximum group range, created safety risk to the public and Divisional members) outweigh\nmitigating factors (no active discipline, accepted partial responsibility).\nRationale: The member operated a patrol car while on-duty that was involved in a motor vehicle\ncrash in which the Traffic Safety Analysis Panel (TSAP) determined to be preventable. The\nmember failed to activate his Wearable Camera System (WCS) and in-car camera prior to taking\ninvestigative or enforcement actions and did fail to notify the Communications Control Section\n(CCS) while investigating a stolen vehicle on July 28, 2025.

The member initiated a vehicle pursuit that did not meet the approved criteria and\nfailed to advise the Communications Control Section (CCS) or a supervisor. The member failed\nto activate his Wearable Camera System (WCS) prior to taking investigative or enforcement\naction with the public and failed to advise a radio dispatcher of his activities on July 30, 2025.\nThe member failed to clear a parking violator assignment that he was currently assigned while\nbeing involved in a vehicle pursuit and engaged in emergency response driving without\nemergency lights and audible siren activated on July 30, 2025. His operation while engaged in\nemergency response driving included driving left of center, driving on the wrong side of the\nstreet, over-taking traffic, and high rates of speed, creating a risk to the safety of the public and\nother Divisional members. The member failed to activate his Wearable Camera System (WCS)\nprior to responding to a call for service on July 31, 2025. In addition, the member failed to\ncomplete an entry in the log each time a City patrol rifle was placed in or removed from storage\nand did store a City patrol rifle in his personal locker.",

The member\nreceived a 15-day suspension. This corrective action is within the First Group III violation range\nof the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple violations, negative image to the\npublic) outweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline). In addition, the member shall\nreimburse the City of Cleveland for the cost of one Motorola Solutions Portable Radio.\nRationale: The member was involved in a motor vehicle crash in the City of Lakewood, Ohio,\nand cited for a stop sign violation. He used his commuter vehicle to stop at a bar in Lakewood,\nOhio, and admitted to purchasing food, gambling and consuming \"at least two drinks\" of alcohol\nat the bar prior to being involved in a motor vehicle crash. The member failed to notify the\nCommunication Control Section after being involved in a motor vehicle crash, after his\nimmediate supervisor advised him to do so. The member identified himself as a member of the\nCleveland Division of Police and behaved in a manner that led bystanders and members of the\nLakewood Police Department to believe he may be impaired while driving his commuter vehicle.\nDuring the investigation into the crash, the member was asked if he had consumed alcohol that\nnight multiple times (which he denied) and was asked to perform pre-cursors to field sobriety\ntests. These actions do not command the respect of the public and negatively reflect the\n\nCleveland Division of Police. The member failed to safeguard and secure his assigned City-\nissued equipment when he lost his assigned City-issued portable radio.",

This corrective action is within the\nfirst Group III Violation range of the discipline matrix when aggravating factors (multiple\nviolations, actual or demonstrable legal or financial risk to the Division or the City as he fired\nhis weapon after the imminent threat had passed and with multiple houses as the backdrop)\noutweigh mitigating factors (no active discipline, believed gunfire was headed in his direction,\nvery rapidly evolving situation requiring split-second decision making). In addition, the member will receive training regarding the prohibited use of deadly force towards a motor vehicle when a\ndirect threat, outside of a vehicle, is not identified.\nRationale: The charge of discharging his service weapon is a result of the action noted in the\nLevel 3 force charge; they were merged. The member and his partner were gathering information\nfrom a radio assignment of threats – suspect on scene, and during his interview of the\ncomplainant, the complainant indicated that she believed that damage to her daughter’s vehicle\ncame from a bullet striking the vehicle’s windshield. The complainant proceeded to show the\nmember broken glass from the reportedly shot-out car window in the driveway of her residence,\nand advised that she did not know the whereabouts of her daughter, who was not at the\nresidence. The complainant further expressed concern over the potential for harm to anyone in\nher home by stating that her brother was sleeping on the couch and could have been shot if the\nperson she suspected had shot through the house. Just prior to clearing this call for service, a\nlarge volley of gunshots was heard coming from the area approximately 500 feet from the\nmember’s location. Moments later, as a vehicle (Ford Fusion) was headed toward his location, a\nsecond volley of gunshots was fired. The member reported that the combination of heavy gunfire\nand the car’s approach toward his position led him to engage with his firearm. He further stated\nthat he waited to fire until the vehicle cleared his partner’s position in front of him before firing.\nVideo captured the member looking toward the sound of the gunfire and calling out “Shots\nfired!” as he moved to the apron area of the driveway. Once the vehicle had passed his location,\nhe then discharged his City-issued pistol five times toward the vehicle, including while the\nvehicle was at a significant distance from his position. The members actions, based on the\nknowledge he reasonably had at the time, including firing upon a vehicle that was not a verified\nand visible threat and had passed his position, was not necessary, proportional, or objectively\nreasonable, and violated policy, creating a significant and unnecessary risk to others when he\ndischarged his weapon despite the residential backdrop, as shown by his round striking an\nuninvolved occupied residence further down the street. Multiple violations arising from a single\nevent or incident may escalate the disciplinary action to the maximum group range.",

Upon\nfinding the vehicle, the officer received permission from a superior officer to process tow the\nvehicle and did not get a search warrant for the vehicle even as the vehicle was held for over\nseventy-two hours before the Crime Scene and Records Unit searched it for evidence.

The charge that he called an arrested male a racial slur was amended from a Group III violation to a Group I violation. He received a six-day suspension for unsafe handling of the patrol car’s assigned pump-action 12-gauge shotgun and a non-disciplinary letter of reinstruction for the amended Group I violation. According to the divisional notice, this was treated as a first Group II violation.
\n\nOriginally, Anthony Bolivar was accused of:
\n\n\n\n- The misconduct created an injury risk to officers or bystanders.
\n- Anthony Bolivar removed the shotgun from the vehicle’s shotgun mount and left it unattended and unsecured in the front seat, where the arrested male had access to it and soon moved to it, escalating the danger to people nearby.
\n
\n\n\n- Anthony Bolivar had no active discipline history.
\n- Anthony Bolivar made unprofessional comments, but the subject of the comments was not African American and the statement did not meet the requirements of Manual of Rules 5.11.
