SEYMOUR — The town’s police chief has apologized for using profanity in front of fellow officers last month.
The apology was part of discipline Chief Michael Metzler received from the Board of Police Commission earlier this month.
In a letter dated Jan. 17 that was addressed to “all employees,” Metzler wrote: “I wish to extend my apology to any employee who felt offended by the inappropriate comment that I made in December.”
Following a closed door session Jan. 12, commissioners found that Metzler “used poor judgments” in statements he made Dec. 19.
The commissioners’ decision to discipline the chief was unanimous. He was given five days to apologize and also has to forfeit two vacation days.
These are supposed to be adults, haven’t they ever heard swearing before? And the police chief has to apologize, what kind of kindergarten kids have they got working as cops?
