We expect a lot from police officers and those charged with keeping us safe, that's why the situation with Shinnston police is so troubling.

For the second time in two years, an officer with the department is being investigated for evidence-related crimes.

The city is taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again, but the fact that it's happened at all is disturbing.
