The sheriff first fired him, but an arbitrator found that the consequence was too severe. Sheriff Knezovich said Kenoyer’s case and others like it forced him to send out a memo making it clear that having sex on duty would not be tolerated.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font color="#000000"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://www.krem.com/home/Spokane-Co-deputy-fired-for-having-sex-on-duty-is-given-his-job-back--260500981.html" style="text-decoration: none; outline: 0px;">READ: Spokane Co. deputy fired for having sex on duty gets job back </a><br><br>Other sheriffs in counties surrounding Spokane said they never needed to send out a letter like the one Sheriff Knezovich sent. Sheriff Knezovich said he felt like he had no choice. <br><br>“I never dreamt I'd ever even see such a memo," Knezovich said. "I'm shocked I had to make this statement. Sex on duty is not tolerated, nor is lying.” <br><br>Sheriff Knezovich said he was worried that giving deputy Kenoyer his job back would make it seem like it was alright to have sex on duty. In the memo, Sheriff Knezovich said that sex on duty was a breach of the public trust and a breach of the Sheriff’s Office code of ethics; core values and officer safety. <br><br>“My legal adviser advised that in order to keep this from being a precedent, it had to be very clear,” said Sheriff Knezovich. “This agency has established a very firm policy that if you have sex on duty or falsify an official document intentionally, you will be terminated.”</span></font></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">--------------------</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img src="cid:003D41A9-1364-4012-A036-CE837F01AFC7" alt="image.jpeg" id="003D41A9-1364-4012-A036-CE837F01AFC7" width="628" height="836"></p></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">-----------------------------------<br><br><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"There's room at the top they are telling you still.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you want to be like the folks on the hill."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">- John Lennon</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div></div></div></div></body></html>
