Florida cop who was fired six times still has his $60,000-per-year job



Sgt. German Bosque didn't even wait to graduate from the police academy before getting into trouble - he was expelled twice.

He’s the most unlawful police officer in Florida.

Sgt. German Bosque has been fined, arrested and suspended more than any cop in the state, but the Opa-locka police department still can’t get rid of him for good.

The Miami native, 48, has had a rocky relationship with the force since he attended the police academy in 1990 and got busted carrying a fake police badge two weeks before graduation.

Since then, he has been fired at least six times and arrested and jailed for an array of incidents ranging from cracking the head of a handcuffed suspect to calling in sick to go on vacation in Cancun.

An ex-girlfriend accused him of slapping her and he was once terminated for engaging in a high-speed police chase.

Bosque is currently suspended again pending an investigation for misconduct, but still receives his $60,000 a year paycheck.

“He is a time bomb that has now exploded,” Opa-locka Police Chief Cheryl Cason told the Miami Herald.

Despite Bosque’s troubled past, he has been reinstated with back pay each time because cases were dropped or there was found to be insufficient evidence.

And his lawyer claims he is being punished without cause in this latest case.

Bosque was kicked out of the police academy twice, first for impersonating a police officer and a second time for speeding with a suspended license.

Yet he still managed to pursue his dream by finding a job at the scandal-ridden Opa-locka police department. The force is known as one of the most corrupt in South Florida and is located in a community with soaring poverty.

Bosque worked for free before being hired full-time.

“Nobody wanted to work in Opa-locka,” he said.

“I love being a policeman. I love looking in the mirror and the person I see.”

On his Facebook page, Bosque boasts about his commitment to the police force.

“I’m conceited about only one thing in life, and that is that I'm an excellent Police Officer (Fortunately or Unfortunately, It was my calling), yet, I have my own business,” he writes in his profile.

He also admits that he made mistakes in his early years as a cop but vows he always worked hard.

“Back then I was a big hot dog,” he told the Miami Herald. “I was catching bad guys, getting commendations while all the other guys were lazy.”
