Synopsis as reported by the agency
An investigation by the Essex County Department of Corrections (ECDOC) sustained a finding of falsification/false reporting against Correctional Police Officer Alex Flores. Officer Flores called out of his scheduled 1400–2200 shift requesting sick time and stated that he would be confined to his residence. However, discoverable information obtained from another law enforcement agency, showed that he was not at his residence as claimed. As a result, investigators determined that Officer Flores willfully made false statements to superior officers regarding official ECDOC business.
