 SARASOTA - Police officer Christopher Childers got his job back Thursday, nearly three years after he was fired for excessive force and violating department policies. In the summer of 2009, a camera in a jail sallyport captured Childers kicking a handcuffed suspect and pinning him to the ground with a foot. The city’s Civil Service Board, which has the final word in employee discipline cases, voted unanimously to dismiss the excessive force violation and three other violations that led to Childers’ firing in Nov. 2009. The move means that Childers, whose salary was $62,800 a year, will receive almost three years of back pay. It also very likely signals the end of an embarrassing chapter for the Sarasota Police Department. Read More |
