Summary
Woodstock police officer Det.-Const. Eric Dopf, who was suspended after assaulting handcuffed man Che Bosch, stated he would give criminals a “free pass” upon his return to duty, according to misconduct documents. Despite admitting to charges of discreditable conduct and insubordination, Dopf retained his job, leading Bosch’s family to express outrage over the decision, which they viewed as a failure to uphold police accountability. Dopf, involved in Bosch’s arrest during a drug investigation, kicked and punched him during the incident, resulting in a conditional discharge with probation and community service.
