The San Jose Police Officers' Association has fired Joanne Segovia, the union's executive director who was charged last month with attempting to illegally import synthetic opioids into the U.S. for distribution.
In a press statement Friday, the SJPOA said Segovia was terminated after the first phase of an internal investigation into the federal drug charges against Segovia. The union said the second phase of the investigation would involve an outside investigation into the alleged criminal conduct and what extent POA resources may have been used.
Between October 2015 and January of this year, Segovia allegedly had at least 61 shipments mailed to her home from Hong Kong, Hungary, India, and Singapore and other locations. Manifests described the contents of the packages with labels like"Wedding Party Favors,""Gift Makeup," or"Chocolate and Sweets."
The union said its outside probe would also determine whether internal POA operations could have identified the alleged crimes. The union said the outside investigator would be announced in the coming days.
