On or about March 30, 2022, Sgt. Leininger approved the move of an inmate out of Housing Unit 3 to Housing Unit 1, a move that facilitated the inmate being placed into direct contact with an individual who was on his No Contact list. This move was a breach in security measures. Sgt. Leininger did not report this move on a Supervisor's Report or to any members of Administration. Sgt. Leininger failed to maintain any record related to the transfer, including discarding the inmate's original Request Slip. The penalty was 15 days suspension.
This involves a 2018 IA case that was appealed to the OAL. The appeal was withdrawn in 2022. Sergeant Leininger conducted an unauthorized and improper investigation of a Superior Officer from in or about 2017 through 2018 during work time for the purpose of aiding a personal lawsuit against the Employer and the subsequent failure to follow the Chain of Command. The penalty was 8 days suspension.
Corrections Police Sergeant Leininger was suspended for 22 12 hour work days for and by violating the County Internet Policy.
