Synopsis as reported by the agency

During an Internal Affairs investigation, Patrol Officer Garr was found to have provided false statements during his original interview. He also failed to report that he was influenced by another officer on what to say during his Internal Affairs interview. Another Officer self-dispatched himself to a call for service that involved a civil issue. An Officer placed Patrol Officer Garr on that call for service, that Garr never responded to. During this time, Patrol Officer Garr was on another call for service unrelated to the civil issue. Patrol Officer Garr originally reported that he completed the investigation report for this call for service, which he never responded to, since the original officer had to leave work early. During a second Internal Affairs interview with Patrol Officer Garr, he admitted to providing false information during his original interview. Patrol Officer Garr admitted that he never wrote the investigation report for the call for service. Patrol Officer Garr admitted that the original Officer told him exactly what to say during his original Internal Affairs interview so neither of them got into any trouble. This fully supports all sustained charges and Patrol Officer Garr was suspended for 180 days.
