FCPD Captain, Police Chief Settle Lawsuit
Denise Hopson will receive a promise not to be transferred from her position for 18 months

Fairfax County Police Department Captain Denise Hopson has settled her lawsuit against Chief David Rohrer, the Washington Post reports.

Hopson, the head of FCPD's Major Crimes Division, filed the lawsuit in October after Rohrer allegedly used anonymous emails about Hopson to defame her on the department's intranet. In the settlement, she will receive $36,097 to cover the cost of her attorney, as well as a promise not to be transferred from her position for 18 months, according to the Post.

Rohrer and Hopson originally clashed over the selection of new detectives for the Major Crimes Division. Rohrer decided to overturn the selection process, which was overseen by Hopson.

Hopson said that Rohrer's explanation of the vacated selections on FCPD's intranet, allegedly based on anonymous emails, hurt her reputation in the department. She originally sued for $1,000 in damages from Rohrer, the identity of the anonymous email writer, and $1,000,000 from her anonymous accuser.

Patch has the original complaint in the case, including Rohrer's posting on the department intranet, here... http://kingstowne.patch.com/articles/fairfax-police-chief-sued-by-captain-over-defamation

What a sad police force.

We are supposed to respect them though. Even when they embarass themselves and their deptarments.

Wonder why nobody trusts cops?

Also, its gotta be nice knowing that for the next 18 months you can do whatever the fuck you want and not get fired.

Everyone involved in this is a sad piece of shit.

protect and serve.

Sounds to me like it was the people in charge, not all of the cops on the department. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Sounds like children fighting. Wonder who will pay for all the attorney fees ?
Oh wait, it will be us, the taxpayers.

Well what do you folks out there in Underground land really expect ?
This is the Fairfax County Police department.
The same department that has killed NINE UNARMED citizens in the last 8-9 years.
This is the scumbag chief that kept that shit Duval Bullock on the force after he shot and killed a local eye doctor.

Keep working and paying those taxes to fund these creeps/thugs with badges.
If you want protection carry a gun, don't call the police AS THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND.
