For years the chief has dated a subordinate, officers say; that subordinate is accused by a department employee of falsifying time cards
San Diego Unified school police officers are calling for their chief, Alfonso Contreras, along with a captain and a sergeant to be placed on leave following allegations that the sergeant committed time card fraud with the captain’s knowledge.
In late March, a person who emailed the district outlined several allegations against Gruner in a message to school board members, district administrators and union leaders, with photos from inside the police department to support their claims. The person also mentioned Contreras’ relationship with Gruner, saying it had “evolved into clear favoritism for Sgt. Gruner by the chief, and has been for many years.”
Nineteen union members voted to ask the district to put the trio on leave, and seven voted not to, meeting minutes showed. Members also rated department morale. Of the 25 members who voted on that question, 19 gave morale a grade of D or F. District attorney spokesperson Tanya Sierra said the office does not say whether it is involved in an investigation unless criminal charges are filed.
