"protect and serve?" the guy carried a badge for decades and his partner's testimony )at the link) shows the bosses knew it.

Among the crimes for which Burkhardt has served time were molesting his nine-year-old niece. During one of his myriad arrests, federal agents who searched his home found a 12-year-old boy inside, though he never faced charges related to that child.

US justice department prosecutors eventually resorted to a federal law allowing lifelong, involuntary commitments for people whom judges deem to be “sexually dangerous”. A judge ruled in 2011 that Burkhardt met those conditions and imposed an indefinite commitment. But he was conditionally freed after four years of treatment.
