The police officer handed in his resignation this Wednesday morning and is no longer on the force a spokesperson for the department said.Philadelphia Police Department Chief Dickie Sistrunk said that the officer, whose name is not being released, agreed on Saturday after a meeting with Sistrunk to resign his position as a patrol officer with the force rather than be terminated.”I will advise the Philadelphia City Council Tuesday night that he has indeed resigned,” said Sistrunk. “It is now time to move forward so we can make the Philadelphia Police Department one of the best law enforcement agencies in the state.”The officer was accused of shoplifting items from a Spaceway Convenience store on Aug. 10. Although no criminal charges were ever filed by the convenience store company, an internal investigation determined the officer, who was on duty at the time, did in fact commit the act therefore leading Sistrunk to advise the officer he had the option of resigning or being terminated.
