An Anacortes police officer was fired last month for using his computer outside the department’s guidelines.
Bradford Stavig was terminated from the Anacortes Police Department June 24 after an internal investigation of misconduct related to use of department-issued equipment for personal use, according to a press release.
Police Chief Bonnie Bowers said there was nothing illegal about the misuse but the policy is clear: Personal computer use is authorized only during break times or lunch.
“We are not authorized to use our city computer unless we are on a work day,” she said.
