Police employees typically help arrest thieves, not become them. For more than five years Douglas Rogers did both. Rogers, a clerk-dispatcher for the North Kingstown, R.I. police department and a former office employee of International Brotherhood of Police Officers Local 473, was arrested on April 13 for embezzling more than $150,000 from the union. Rhode Island State Police arrested him at his home and arraigned him at nearby police barracks. He was released on a promise to pay $10,000 in lieu of appearing in court.
