Viper Unit gets guns off the street on New Year's Eve

hopefully not, it does sound a bit extreme. if it's true, it's just another example of why we need to refine our hiring process and finally start listening to the training academy staff's input when they encounter problem recruits. we had too many bad examples in 2013, DUIs, drunken bar fights off-duty, pocketing out of town travel funds for out of town schools which were not attended, stealing overtime money, the list goes on........... hopefully 2014 will be less embarrassing for the good officers who make up the 99% majority of lmpd.
