After six months of investigation, Gold Shield Detective Agency has concluded its review of the incident on April 27, when Lt. Dan Miller of the Forest Park Police Department pulled a woman from her car and brandished a gun at her while off-duty in North Riverside. North Riverside police later released the woman without charges.
A press release, sent to the Review by Village Administrator Rachell Entler on Nov. 10, said that Miller violated two department policies. As a result, he will be suspended for five days without pay, then reassigned to administrative duties. Forest Park is also requiring Miller to complete training specific to the department policies he violated.
Miller has been on paid administrative leave since the April incident.
“The Forest Park Police and the Village of Forest Park are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, accountability and public trust. When violations of departmental policies occur, appropriate corrective action is taken to address the conduct and reinforce expectations for all department personnel,” the press release said.
“We remain committed to ensuring that all members of our department are held accountable for their actions and that appropriate measures are taken when our standards are not met,” Police Chief Dan Pater said in the press release. “Our goal is to continue fostering public confidence through transparency, professionalism, and ongoing training.”
The Forest Park Police Department has released a redacted copy of Gold Shield’s investigative report that the Review is looking through.
