There is more to the story. You would think differently about him if you knew the whole story. His wife was going to bring a psycho she just met over the internet to their house and she is having an affair with this man. You would flip out too if your wife was going to bring a creepy con man around your kids and have an affair right in front of you.

Simple solution: take the children and leave. It sounds like, as a cop, he thought was going to control the situation. This control mentality needs to go.

Lets see if we can guess the sequence of events: taxpayer paid vacation for minimum 6 -9 months, worthless internal investigation, possible termination followed by threat of lawsuit, costing taxpayers even more money, spineless leaders bring him back with even more back pay of taxpayer funds. Of course this is just a guess but it has happened before so it will likely happen again.
