CARLSBAD, Calif. Jan 24 2012– The Carlsbad Police Chief calls it a “tremendous disappointment” after one of the department’s police officers was arrested just days ago.
In a press release from the Carlsbad Police Department sent to 10News Sunday night, the letter began with “It is with tremendous disappointment that I announce the arrest of Police Officer Michael C. Koch.”
The 44-year-old’s arrest was outlined in a note from Police Chief Gary Morrison, who continued by saying, “All members of the Carlsbad Police Department, both sworn and civilian are held to the highest of standards.”
The Police Department says it launched an investigation upon learning of the potential misconduct, although they will not provide specifics.
We’re told the 17-year veteran Carlsbad officer was arrested Thursday night on burglary charges. He was booked into Vista Jail and then released the next day on $25,000 bail.
Although he is listed as an officer in the notification, 10News found background information that he is a detective.
In the meantime, the Chief added, “Our goal as a department is to be open and transparent within the parameters of the law.”
