Have Volusia County officials allowed documents to be falsified in an internal affairs investigation?

If so, why?

And more importantly, what's next - the falsification of evidence?

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Recently, VolusiaExposed.Com received an anonymous tip that Volusia County Beach Patrol Officer Gittner was being "forced" to resign due to her involvement in the Captain Gardner investigation.

Below are two media links (Daytona Beach News Journal) that outlines the Captain R. Gardner situation.

Based on our anonymous tip, VolusiaExposed made a public record request in an attempt to verify that Officer Gittner had submitted her resignation paperwork.

Sure enough, the records reflected that on December 7, 2012, Ofc. Gittner was ordered to turn over her private cell phone records to Volusia County investigators, in order to forward the county's investigation of Captain Gardner.

Records further indicated, that Officer Gittner initially refused to release her cell phone records, and therefore was placed (December 14, 2011) under an internal affairs investigation, in which it was alleged that she was in violation of State moral character standards.

Officer Gittner then submitted a December 23, 2011 letter of resignation.

Under Florida law, any officer that resigns while under investigation, that resignation must be reported to FDLE as an unfavorable separation.

However, the records further supported, that on December 28, 2011 - Deputy Director Pozzo sent a memo to Internal Affairs Captain Dofflemyer. Within this memo, Pozzo orders Dofflemyer to cease her investigation into Officer Gittner, document a "no finding" in the investigation, and report the case closed as of December 22, 2011 (a day prior to Officer Gittner submitting her resignation letter).

Interesting - can a law enforcement agency's legally manipulate a timeline of an investigation like that? It either sounds shady to us, or has the making of a sequel to the blockbuster movie - "Back to the Future" (1985).

VolusiaExposed doesn't anticipate seeing a nuclear power Delorean parked outside the county administration building any time soon. But, if time lines can be manipulated - what's next - the manipulation of evidence, charges, or maybe a total manipulation of the entire investigative process? VolusiaExposed has contacted county officials, and we have made them aware of our concerns - hopefully, they will properly address them.

Until then, we suggest reading the below attached documents.
