Former Milwaukee Police Sergeant appeals his demotion

Posted on March 23rd, 2006

Corstan Court was the first supervisor on the scene of the October 2004 Frank Jude Jr. beating by off-duty police officers. Chief Nannette Hegarty demoted Court to officer because he failed to perform the duties of a supervisor. Namely, he left the scene without telling anyone, did not separate witnesses and suspects, did not request additional officers to the scene, and did not make any arrests. Hegarty said:

He is not being punished because he didn’t do everything perfect. He is being demoted because he didn’t do anything right at the scene that night.

Edited to add: The demotion was upheld this afternoon by the police and fire commission.
