An internal report provided by the department says officer Joshua Carroll also had five previous disciplinary action against him between 2016 and January of this year before the latest incident, which took place in June.
"Officer Carroll has a pattern of discipline involving poor decision making that has escalated to a point that I no longer have confidence in his ability during routine contacts and stressful situations,'' wrote a Glendale police commander, in a memo to an assistant police chief. ...
According to police, Carroll's list of previous discipline included an incident in January during a pursuit in which he advised a police trainee to exceed 100 mph and run red lights. Carroll also fired a round from a rifle at a suspect in that same incident, police said. He was given a written reprimand.
He also was found at fault in a 2018 traffic collision, for which he received a memo of correction. Carroll was given a letter of counsel in 2018 for an improper post on Facebook and also that year given another memo of correction for misrepresentations on his resume during a department promotion process.
In 2016, he received a memo of correction for three AVL (automated vehicle locator) violations, police said.
