Demoted Cop Put Back in Old Unit

Oakland Deputy Police Chief Jeff Loman, who had been on paid leave because of a sexual harassment complaint, has been demoted two ranks to lieutenant and ordered back to work, according to the Trib and the Chron. Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan has reassigned Loman to run a criminal investigations unit. The move is strange because Loman also got in trouble for his role in the Chauncey Bailey murder case when he oversaw the investigations bureau.
