In a case apparently somewhat slow to catch hold, an officer of the Woodstock Police Department has come into the sights of Police Chief Robert Lowen.
As of this morning, no information appears as a Press Release on the police department's webpage for Crime Stopper Cases/Press Releases/Crime Alerts.
Will this case be handled administratively, where it could be kept under wraps and out of the public's view? Are there elements for criminal charges? If so, the public outcry should be immediate and loud.
Two other officers might get caught up in the backlash. Details first came to my attention on July 2, and I talked to the Woodstock residents that day. As I understand the situation, they had complained to the police department and felt no action was resulting. Then they went to the City Manager. Even so, three more weeks passed before definitive action by Chief Lowen.
The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is getting a real work-out this year. Will this cause a turn-over in the composition of the Board? Should the Board be expanded, say, from three commissioners to five members?

Looks like someone is jockeying for a position on the board, huh gus? can't be the police, become the one that hires and fires them?
Heaven help them if that ever comes to pass.
Well, well, well! Not going for the board but want to be in charge of the whole county, huh?
I can see it now! County Deputies on patrol in towns like Woodstock with strict orders to pull over any squad cars and issue tickets! County squads getting pulled over. Gus out pulling over anything that moves, leading the department in citations within a week!
LMAO!
What a joke!!
