Florida police department caught in huge sex scandal; over 8 officers and 1 firefighter in hot water.

According to Floridatoday.com, the Lakeland Police Department in Florida is under a huge magnifying glass this month for having sexual encounters with a female civilian crime analyst both on and off duty. Sexual encounters took place in police cars, motels, parking lots, cemetaries, police and fire stations. Among the accused are police officers, a firefighter, and a "city worker". Seven officers have admitted to having sexual encounters with the woman and three other officers have denied the accusations and are unwilling to take a polygraph. Obvoiusly the department is embarrased and confidence in police is close to nonexistent. This department has had many issues with investigating crimes, routine traffic stops, and searches. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has assumed that the deparment "shortcomings" are connected with these sex scandals. 

They are focused more on sex than doing their job.
