Quoting SOP doesn't rebut the allegations.

"Police are also accused of falsifying reports, deleting phone records and audio files and destroying other records. Allegations against Betts date from as early as 2013, when a 16-year-old girl claimed the officer texted her shirtless pictures of himself and asked to meet her and "make out." During that internal police investigation, a male teen told police that Betts offered him money for sex and promised to take care of a traffic citation in exchange for sexual favors. The internal investigation by the department's professional standards unit found that Betts violated police procedures but committed no criminal acts involving the girl. There was no investigation into the male teenager's allegations, and Betts avoided any discipline by leaving the department in April 2014. Police Chief Steve Conrad closed that case "by exception" when Betts resigned, saying "no further action need be taken."

Their interpretation of "preponderence" is now the subject of 3 investigations. We shall all see if they upheld the professional standards they enforced on officers.
