Four officers with the San Jose Police Department are facing termination.
"I’ve watched SJPD getting deeply involved in a negative spiral and it's going to take a long time to come out of that spiral," retired San Jose police Officer Michael Leininger said.
"I see this as a tremendous problem," he said."Not only for SJPD but nationally with recruitment and retainment. It’s a serious problem." But more bad news could be on the way. Officer DeJon Packer died of a fentanyl overdose last year at his Milpitas home. Milpitas police said they have now delivered their file to the district attorney for possible prosecution, but a former prosecutor said that could bring up new questions for the department he worked for.
