Our public servants (I dislike that phrase) are held to a certain standard of accountability. That accountability has to be verified to be worth anything, and for someone in a position of such authority, the verifiers must come from outside that organization, an independent audit. To reduce the appearance of a conflict of interest, or undue influence, the officer has been excluded from the scene. This is the cleanest way to get the cleanest evidence. I believe the citizens, the auditors and the officer(s) all agree this is the best method, and let the evidence resulting from the investigation speak for itself.

I am confident of a good outcome for all.
