"The indictment came only a week after five former Ocean Beach police officers — who are cooperating with the district attorney — filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the acting chief surrounded himself with a clique of officers who they claimed covered up instances of police brutality against vacationers and drank and had sex while on duty. They are seeking reinstatement."

It is a well known fact that the police over at ocean beach have been out of control for many years. These cops were no boy scouts and frequently roughed up and intimated civilians. It is also common knowledge that some of these married cops were sleeping around, they were like kids in a candy store.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, although looks like the party is over for some of these pigs.
that the officers repeatedly complained about:
-- Other officers serving alcohol to an alleged domestic abuse victim in
an effort to convince her not to file a domestic incident report
against the abuser who was a personal friend of Hesse and other
officers.
-- On-duty officers drinking alcohol both inside and outside of the police
station, while patrolling in police vehicles and at the local bars.
The complaint alleges Hesse and other officers drank beer that was
confiscated from people on the beach, and even would tell the officers
what brands of beer to confiscate.
-- The hiring of officers who were not duly certified by Suffolk County
Civil Service, and who obtained firearms certification even though
they did not have appropriate pistol permits or proper training by the
Suffolk County Police Academy or any other accredited police training
agency in Suffolk County.
-- The police department and Village being left dangerously short of
personnel when the officers were assigned to chauffer Acting Deputy
Chief Hesse to and from the residence of a known drug dealer, who is a
personal friend of his, as well as to other locations inside and out of
the Village for Hesse to engage in sexual escapades. When Hesse would
return from such locations, he would brag about sleeping with multiple
women, including making such comments as "She just had the German
Sausage."
-- Acting Deputy Chief Hesse ordering the officers not to issue summons to
local bars whose bartenders delivered alcohol to Hesse and his friends
at the police station, and to stay away from certain locations where
known drug dealers conducted business and under-aged drinking was
rampant.
-- Acting Deputy Chief Hesse destroying summons that the officers issued
to his friends and acquaintances in the Village.
-- The failure to properly secure and inventory certain illicit drugs and
related drug paraphernalia that were duly confiscated and improperly
stored in Hesse's desk drawer and on a shelf above his desk.
