To
whom
it
may
concern,
You
are
already
aware
of
our
letter
sent
to
you
on
May
19,
2016,
concerning
Mr.
Spiezio
conducting
himself
out
of
the
scope
of
the
Mt.
Vernon
City
Charter,
by
performing
property
seizures
without
proper
certification
from
the
City
Clerks
office
of
being
a
Deputy
Commissioner.
The
recent
outburst
of
threats
to
do
bodily
harm
and
other
insulting
slurs
to
an
Elected
Official,
Councilman
Andre
Wallace
by
Deputy
Police
Commissioner
Joseph
Spiezio
should
be
unacceptable
on
every
level
of
the
Mt.
Vernon
City
Government.
Threatening
to
do
bodily
harm
an
elected
official
is
a
serious
crime,
especially
when
the
elected
official
was
doing
his
job
in
protecting
the
interest
of
the
citizens
that
voted
him
in
office.
Police
Departments
have
a
strict
code
of
conduct
and
ethic
policies
and
Mt.
Vernon
shouldn't
be
any
different.
A
Deputy
Commissioners
actions
in
public
cannot
and
should
not
be
exempt
from
any
policy.
As
a
national
organization
of
law
enforcement
professionals,
we
are
formally
requesting
immediate
suspension
of
Joseph
Spiezio
as
Deputy
Commissioner
and
any
duties
that
come
with
that
title.
His
actions
are
unbecoming
of
any
officer
or
official
wearing
a
badge.
