WHEN INTERNAL AFFAIRS GETS TOO COZY

Donald Rifkin, Carmen Pichardo and Richard Pichardo A HAPPY FAMILY.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) recently ended an investigation into the onetime commander of the Miami-Dade Police Department's internal affairs unit, concluding Donald Rifkin was hoping to get laid by talking to county cop Carmen Pichardo about sensitive information in the internal affairs case against her. Department rules forbid IA detectives from discussing cases with anyone, especially officers under investigation. As a result, Rifkin was demoted from major to captain. Pichardo was also busted down, from major to lieutenant. We're still awaiting word from a police department spokesman to find out if Rifkin is still with the Professional Compliance Bureau or if he has been reassigned. Rifkin and Pichardo could not be reached for comment.

The sordid saga involving Pichardo and Rifkin
began in February 2008 when she and her estranged ex-husband, Richard Pichardo, a former chief of the county police's Cutler Ridge district who retired in April last year, were having problems. According to court documents, the ex-beaus filed for restraining orders against one another last February 19 and 20. In addition, the Pichardos were being investigated by the Professional Compliance Bureau on several matters, including domestic violence and fraud.

Shortly after the IA investigation into her began, Pichardo received a phone call from Rifkin inviting her to lunch, according to the FDLE's report,

its all true.

Rifkin later retired

Carmen is stil a Lt.

Little Richy resigned/retired while under investigation and later got fired from sweetwater (for wrongful use of power), but it was slept under the carpet. So he decided to sue sweetwater for wrongful termination! Ironic is that he then was part of the personnel that made the list to wrongfully terminate other officers?????

Sweetwater TWILIGHT the saga continues!
