Just because there is a badge & uniform does NOT mean they are NOT a SEXUAL PREDATOR!
THIS IS WHAT I FEEL NEEDS TO BE DONE IN WAS STATE NOW! AND I HAVE MADE THIS VERY CLEAR TO WA STATE~
ANY WA State Police Officer caught having sex on duty- sex w/a minor-Lies and Abuses, commits crimes to have sex on duty.. NO SECOND CHANCES! Gone! Period! End of subject GONE! Turn in your badge, turn in your weapon- GONE! In writing in EVERY WA State Police Department Policies and Procedures Manual. One gets fired the next doesn't. One resigned, the next doesn't-One gets "punished" the next doesn't.
RAPISTS WITH BADGES
NO EXCEPTIONS EVERETT POLICE DEPARTMENT!
The comment below is NOT MINE. It was left by "H S" attached to the article written by Eric Stevick, writer/reporter for the Everett Herald, about my abuser (X-Now, Praise the Lord) Officer Robert W Franklin Badge #220. My question is... If "Many folks have knows about" Franklin's actions/abuses of our innocent citizens, including his abuse of me, and prior- Why/How is it that NOBODY did ANYTHING to stop him years ago??
Had my ZERO TOLERANCE already been in law prior, this would NOT even be an issue. NOBODY would even know my name except for as a PROSECUTING ATTY for WA State. I still have NO Regrets-
Not One!
"MANY folks have known about this Officer for years,,,,and
they all have been saying .."It is just a matter of time",,,,well it finally became time..."
"City spokeswoman Kate Reardon said police weren't able to fully investigate all of the allegations in the 2010 case because the witness was uncooperative. In an interview Friday, the woman said she wouldn't agree to a taped interview without an attorney present"
THE EVERETT POLICE DEPARTMENT LIED! BOLD FACED LIED TO THE MEDIA! I DID NOT REFUSE TO COOPERATE WITH THE EPD! THEY REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH ME! HUGE POLICE COVER-UP BUT NOT FOR LONG! HOW DARE THEY BLAME ME FOR FRANKLIN KEEPING HIS JOB! FLAT OUT LIE!

Everett officer resigns after 3rd inquiry
EVERETT -- A veteran Everett police officer resigned last month after a third internal investigation since 2000 resulted in findings of dishonesty and misconduct.
Officer Robert Franklin quit April 16 after being informed of the Everett Police Department's plan to fire him.
The latest internal investigation began in October after a man filed a complaint alleging Franklin was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with the man's wife.
Both the woman and Franklin denied having a sexual relationship.
The Herald obtained a copy of the 199-page internal investigation through a public records request. The documents were released Friday.
While there was no evidence of an affair, Everett Police Chief Kathy Atwood concluded that Franklin had been untruthful during the investigation. She also found that he conducted personal business while on duty and failed to perform a full day's work for a full day's pay.
Franklin was suspended and demoted in June 2000 after an internal investigation concluded he had an extramarital relationship.
He was again suspended and demoted in 2012 after acknowledging another romantic relationship. That woman told police that Franklin said he was divorced and that they had sex while he was on duty. He denied having sex on duty.
Investigators said that a voice mail he left the woman "gives credence" to her story.

Investigators said that a voice mail he left the woman "gives credence" to her story.
Former police Chief Jim Scharf wrote at the time: "Your convenient lack of recollection regarding the event that prompted you to leave the voice mail is improbable and your denial of a sexual encounter with (the woman) while on duty is implausible."
City spokeswoman Kate Reardon said police weren't able to fully investigate all of the allegations in the 2010 case because the witness was uncooperative. In an interview Friday, the woman said she wouldn't agree to a taped interview without an attorney present.
In a hand-delivered letter April 8, Atwood informed Franklin that she was planning to fire him.
She wrote that the latest investigation "revealed disturbing evidence of a lack of honesty on your part as the investigation unfolded."
"Your actions in this investigation were particularly troubling because of the pattern of dishonesty," she wrote.
The internal investigation also documented more than seven hours of telephone calls between Franklin and the woman in a one-month period while he was on duty.
Franklin has been a police officer for 27 years.
The city will refer the case to the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, which will consider decertifying Franklin as a police officer, Reardon said.

An Everett police officer, who was facing termination, has quit after being accused of inappropriate behavior on duty for the third time in 13 years.
Officer Robert W. Franklin submitted his resignation last month, but details of the investigation only came to light after a records request Friday by KING 5.
Everett police began their investigation last year when the spouse of an employee at a QFC store in complained that Franklin was “courting a relationship” with his wife. Officer Franklin provided uniformed security at the QFC for a number of years.
Franklin and the woman denied they had a sexual relationship. Franklin also denied that they had much of a personal relationship. But phone records showed Franklin spoke with the woman at least 84 times on his cell phone over the course of a couple of months.
“The officer was found to have made untruthful statements during the investigation and that violates the public trust. The officer no longer works for our department,” said Everett city spokeswoman Kate Reardon.
Investigators said they could not prove that the pair had sex while Franklin was on duty, but they did determine he was untruthful in his description of the relationship to internal affairs.
“These actions are unacceptable and violate the public’s trust,” Chief Kathy Atwood added about the 27-year veteran’s behavior.
Franklin was suspended and demoted in June of 2000 for allegedly having sex on duty and lying about it. In 2010, the department launched another investigation when a separate woman accused him of having sex with her on duty. Investigators say he also lied about the facts in that case, and again he was suspended and demoted.
Documents indicate that the 2010 case did not proceed any further because the complaining witness became “uncooperative.”
Franklin declined to comment when KING 5 reached him at his Everett home.
