Miami-Dade police has fired a Kendall District sergeant and two officers for dereliction of duty and suspended three others for pretending to be on calls, according to an investigation by Miami Herald newspartners CBS4 News.

The officers – an entire squad assigned to patrol a large swath of Kendall – were followed and captured on surveillance video by Internal Affairs in 2010. Investigators used tracking devices on the officers’ cars to catalogue their movements.

In September 2012, the officers were ultimately disciplined, the station learned.

The officers comprised Platoon III, Squad A, and worked the 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift in the district that runs from Bird Road to Southwest 104th Street and includes Dadeland Mall.

One of the fired officers, Dario Socarras, reportedly ignored armed robbery and residential burglary calls so he could meet his girlfriend in the parking lot of the Dadeland Mall on two different occasions. Video shows the making out as other officers were forced to respond to the emergency calls for help, CBS investigative reporter Jim DeFede said.

And Socarras allegedly misled a crime victim into believing he was going to fill out a report about items that were stolen from her, but instead told dispatchers no crime had occurred. Investigators noted he even gave the victim a phony case number.

Socarras, along with his supervisor, Sgt. Jennifer Gonzalez and Officer Jose Huerta, were fired after an internal police panel reviewed their actions, the station said.

The IA investigation, first reported by CBS4 News in 2010, documented 134 violations of departmental rules and procedures.

Investigators claim Gonzalez went shopping when she should have been working. Surveillance video catches her going to Lowes, Target and Kohl; loading the items she bought into the trunk of her police cruiser.

Investigators also allege she would spend hours visiting her parents in Cutler Ridge – well outside her district – when she should have been on patrol or supervising the other officers in the squad.

On a variety of occasions, investigators allege that Huerta would claim to be tied up on a call, such as a traffic accident, when in fact he was not, the station said.

The most egregious incident involved an emergency call in which a five month old child was unconscious and in need of medical attention. Both Socarras and paramedics are dispatched, with each being told to proceed with lights and sirens.

Socarras tells the dispatcher he’s “en route.” In reality, he was sitting at an outdoor table at Casa Larios in South Miami drinking coffee with his supervisor, Gonzalez and Huerta. Paramedics would reach and care for the child. And even though he didn’t go, Socarras wrote on his daily report that he went to the scene.

Police officials argue Gonzalez’s attitude infected the entire squad, the station said.

An attorney for Gonzalez on Monday night said Gonzalez could not comment because she was planning on appealing her firing. Socarras and Huerta are also trying to get their jobs back.

Police officials argue Gonzalez’s attitude infected the entire squad, the station said.

When someone called 911 from a Winn Dixie and abruptly hung up, Officers Jeffrey Price and Fabian Owens, riding in a two man car, were assigned the call. Internal Affairs watched as they cruised through the parking lot – never getting out of their car or for that matter even stopping.

On another occasion, Price and Owens also rolled by a Chevron gas station where there is a reported problem. On at least one occasion they never even bothered driving to the scene of the call, IA charged.

Likewise investigators documented how Officer Ivan Tomas, hung out at La Careta and Pollo Tropical rather than taking a series of emergency calls that were backing up.

Price, Owens and Tomas received suspensions ranging from five to twenty days for their actions.
