“The accused correction officers allegedly violated their oath and obligation to maintain the safety and security of incarcerated individuals, employees, civilians, and their fellow correction officers at the Westchester County Jail," DA Cacace told Hudson Valley Post.

Unclear What Officers Were Doing

Officials have not disclosed what the officers are accused of doing, but Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said says he's deeply disappointed by the allegations.

"I am deeply disappointed by these allegations. No one is above the law, and these individuals must be held accountable through the legal process," Jenkins stated. "The conduct alleged against these two employees arrested represents a serious breach of the trust placed in them as correction professionals. We have a fundamental responsibility to protect the safety, dignity and rights of those in our custody, just as we have a responsibility to the public we serve."

Both were issued Desk Appearance Tickets charging them with Official Misconduct. They will be arraigned in Mount Pleasant Justice Court on Thursday.

"It is both upsetting and disappointing to learn that two of our correction officers have been arrested and charged with Official Misconduct. The conduct alleged in these cases represents a serious violation of the oath of office. However, the allegations of misconduct involving these two employees do not diminish the dedication and commitment demonstrated by the overwhelming majority of our workforce," Westchester County Commissioner of Correction Joseph Spano said.
