From El Monte, CA police union

Detective Eric Walterscheid stood at a podium before the El Monte City Council during its last meeting in June, touting the work of Officer Carlos Molina before honoring him as the Police Officers Associations Officer of the Year for 2020.

With about a dozen rank-and-file officers looking on, the police union president said of Molina: Hes been with us for 21 years. I remember when he first walked into the detective bureau his leather was squeaking. I read his reports. I said, Go into detectives! Youre an excellent investigator! He never looked back.

But Molina seemed an odd choice for the honor, primarily because he didnt work a single day in 2020. He spent the entire year on paid administrative leave that ultimately lasted 19 months from September 2019 to April 2021, according to Tom Madruga, a contract attorney for the city.

Molina, a detective at the time, was placed on leave because he spent a year working on a child abuse investigation that yielded little work product, sources close to the investigation said on condition of anonymity. Additionally, he charged the city for 42 hours of overtime pay equating to more than $4,400 during that period.

Cop awarded for doing basically nothing?

This is a news story every day. Remember the cop that got down on the ground and played barbie dolls with a girl in NYC a few years ago and got heralded for going above and beyond the call of duty?

https://www.sgvtribune.com/2021/07/18/officer-of-the-year-in-el-monte-didnt-work-a-single-day-in-2020/

I wonder what happened. Was he just dragging ass cause he wanted money or was he having a tough tiem with the case because of what was going on and after so many years he was just burnt out.

This was my assumption too.

Also getting into trouble for not producing enough results and then getting paid with the intention of not getting any results seems a bit confusing as a punishment
