Summary Judgment in Retaliation Claim Against Town of Quartzsite
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Aspey granted the motion, which imposes liability on all defendants for the wrongful termination action.
In 2011, police officers filed complaints against Gilbert with the Town Council, the Department of Public Safety and the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, the state’s law-enforcement certification agency. Among other things, the employees alleged that Gilbert unlawfully used national crime computers to investigate political foes and violated the civil rights of dissidents by making arrests without probable cause. They also alleged that Gilbert failed to document vacation and leave time.
