Lt. Lee Rakun has been fired six times by SAPD since 2005 for misconduct ranging from domestic violence and harassment to using slurs and insubordination. Each time, Rakun won his job back through arbitration or settlement, often with the punishment reduced to a suspension instead of termination. In 2018, Rakun received two more indefinite suspensions – one for posting a derogatory slur about the police chief on Facebook, and another for repeatedly leaving his duty post without permission and then refusing to answer his captain’s questions. Rakun was reinstated after the social media incident and was still appealing the sixth firing as of 2020.
