FONTANA - The Fontana Police Department has been made aware of allegations of misconduct concerning some of our employees over the July 4^th weekend.  It is alleged that department employees participated in a gathering on city property in which illegal fireworks were used. The initial information indicates the employees involved with the allegations were off duty at the time of the incident.

The department is taking these allegations seriously and has initiated an internal affairs investigation to determine if there are any violations of any law or policy.  Because of the ongoing investigation, the sensitive nature of personnel investigations, the department is precluded from responding to any questions related to the investigation, or from identifying any involved personnel. 

Press releases will be provided to keep our community informed to the extent allowed by law.
