It was recently reported that a Canby police officer was being investigated for using and buying steroids while on duty. Officer Jason Deason is allegedly hooked in steroid and the FBI had him under scrutiny for almost two years now. His Chief police officer, Greg Kroeplin resigned and expressed his retirement from the police force, two years shy of his 50th birthday.

New developments on the case revealed that Kroeplin knew more about Deason’s misdemeanor and even lied on why he didn’t investigate his subordinate. The public’s safety was also threatened because someone like Deason, who has a history of violence, was still allowed to be on duty while under investigation. It was also known that Kroeplin received a memo from the Canby City Council informing him that the officer was going to be fired. Instead of taking the appropriate actions the chief signified his resignation.

From Oregon News:

An investigation by two retired Oregon law enforcement officers revealed a department where officers trying to conduct any meaningful inquiry of Deason’s steroid abuse were thwarted by two chiefs, and the city administrator overseeing the department took the chiefs’ word without strong oversight.

“I rely upon the people who report back to me to be truthful. I trust them unless I have reason not to,” City Administrator Mark Adcock said Thursday. “If there are lessons to learn here, sometimes you can’t trust people as much as you would like to that they’re going to make the right decision.”

Kroeplin’s attorney, Victor Calzaretta, declined comment.

Kroeplin went under investigation because he lacked professionalism in his conduct, failure to make fair judgments, and lack of compliance to protocol had compromised the FBI’s investigation on Deason.

It was also known that Kroeplin had informed Deason the investigation and refused to take any corrective measures on the situation. He had received complaints from colleagues about his officer’s unpleasant behavior including several psychotic tendencies that urgently needed psychiatric help.
