GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A newly-released report says an internal investigation led to nine of Green Bay’s night shift police officers being disciplined for harassment and bullying.
The 249-page document says the bullying, which often involved the mobile data terminals in squad cars, included content that was either sexual or racial in nature. Another officer was reportedly targeted for their medical condition.
Two officers (Officer Casey Masiak and Lieutenant Rob Korth) resigned as a result of the investigation, with another (Officer Mike Rahn) resigning due to a separate incident.
Six others were suspended up to one month without pay: Officer Kevin Bahl (1 day), Officer Kurt Brester (15 days), Officer Tim Eickholt (7 days), Officer Matt Knutson (30 days), Officer Scott Salzman (1 day), and Officer Paul Spoerl (2 days).
The investigation began in December 2016, having started into a separate investigation of an officer who was allegedly abusing the department’s sick time policy.
