Police Car Parked in Handicapped Spot

Salinas, CA -- Salinas Police today learned from a social media post that one of our officers had parked his police vehicle in a handicapped spot. Deputy Chief Dave Shaw made this statement:

"This is not acceptable for any non-handicapped person to do, and certainly not acceptable for a Salinas Police Officer to do unless it's part of an emergency response. We have started an Internal Affairs inquiry into this incident. Once that's concluded, we'll determine what the consequences will be.

"I want to assure the public that we take this matter seriously, and that we hold each other to the standard of setting an example of respect for the law."
