What happened: A P alm Beach County School District police officer is facing a five-day suspension and a 30-day loss of take-home vehicle privileges after an internal-affairs investigation found he violated five department policies, including a policy governing relationships with students.
Background: School Police Chief Sarah Mooney recommended that Officer Christopher Delgado, No. 1302, receive a 40-hour unpaid suspension and have his take-home car privileges revoked for 30 days, according to a redacted disciplinary notice.
The School Board is scheduled to consider the recommendation at its Sept. If approved, the discipline would take effect Sept.
17, with the suspension scheduled to be served on five dates in October. The investigation resulted in sustained findings that Delgado violated policies involving relationships with students, transporting citizens, prohibited activity while on duty, on-duty responsibilities, and standard of conduct.
The public packet does not identify any student or describe the underlying conduct. It also does not allege a crime or establish that the conduct involved a S3xual relationship.
Records show the chief originally proposed the 40-hour suspension along with a 90-day revocation of Delgado’s take-home vehicle privileges.
