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.”
