Synopsis as reported by the agency
S/O Lozito failed to secure his duty weapon by leaving it in a holster unsecured in a public school restroom where he was assigned as a School Resource Officer, where it was later discovered by a civilian. This conduct represented a substantial public safety threat and could further have exposed the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office to substantial liability had the weapon been misused.
