Police Severance
Davidsville, PA: (Nov-12-07) Former Conemaugh Township Police Chief Howard Jackson brought charges against the township, alleging that he was wrongfully terminated from his post. Prior to his filing suit, records show that grievances were filed by the Fraternal Order of Police, and a discrimination complaint was filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Sources claimed that Jackson's suspension came after a 13-week internal investigation into 51 incidents, which a township official described as creating a tense work environment.
As part of a settlement reached, the township agreed to a deal, which resulted in Jackson giving up his career with the township force. The deal included his being paid a patrolman's salary of $39,000 and medical benefits for a year as part of a severance package brokered with the township. The issues stemmed from his being suspended with pay after complaints were lodged accusing him of conduct unbecoming an officer and neglect of duty. [TRIBUNE DEMOCRAT: POLICE SEVERANCE]
