Hampton made several recommendations, including housing the secondary employment coordinator in a neutral site (not the police department) and assigning the job to a civilian, not a sworn officer, so he or she would be less subject to pressures from officers to funnel work their way, etc. The recommendations also included running all pay for off-duty jobs through the city, as has been done in other municipalities, and reassigning duties related to ABC permits, which also fell upon the same worker.
From the audit report released by the city Sept. 30, it was clear that none of these recommendations had yet been heeded. Alesha Robinson-Taylor, a low-ranking officer, was the secondary-employment officer, the specific type of worker Hampton's inspection had recommended against. Managing ABC permit matters was still part of her duties, and her office was not in a "neutral" location.
