Officer Charles Hoffman – Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In May 2018, Officer Charles Hoffman, despite being prohibited, approached officers from a neighboring agency to inquire about an ongoing investigation involving a fellow officer. During an internal interview, Hoffman initially denied seeking specific information but later admitted to discussing the investigation with multiple officers and requesting details. He left the agency before any discipline occurred. The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council initiated proceedings, and Hoffman was decertified for failing to respond truthfully after being issued a Garrity warning.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
