Cop Faces Temporary Suspension for 'Inappropriate' Conduct with 17-Year-Old He Met While
Investigating a Theft
A Denver Police Department law enforcement officer who has been on the force for 17 years is facing an imminent upcoming suspension for conduct directed toward a 17-year-old girl. According to a Department of Public Safety letter obtained by KDVR-TV, Daniel Osman, who is in his fifties, will be off the beat for two 5-day blocks spanning the dates of April 18 through April 22 and May 2 through May 6. Hes said to have engaged in inappropriate conduct which was prejudicial to the police department.
The alleged behavior started after Osman responded to an alleged theft at a Famous Footwear shoe store, investigators said. The girl worked there as a sales associate. The officer allegedly looked at her Facebook page and told her, This is a perfect girl for me.
Osman is alleged to have brought the girl to lunch at a Chipotle location on July 1 after unsuccessfully asking her to go to dinner. At the subsequent lunch, Osman told the teen he was divorcing his wife. The teen reportedly said that he appeared to have directed another comment at her: he said he preferred Latinas with brown eyes, brown hair.
According to investigators, a Famous Footwear store manager found Osmans attention toward the 17-year-old girl to be so worrying that she reported it to another cop. She recounted an instance where Osman allegedly said he and the girl could get to know each other and then develop something later.
