Former GPD officer is the subject of internal investigation

A Gainesville Police officer resigned from the police department last week and is the subject of an ongoing internal investigation, the agency confirmed Tuesday.

John Bostick resigned on Friday, police spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett

said.

Hallett said she could not provide other information about Bostick's

resignation but confirmed that there is an ongoing internal investigation

involving the former GPD officer.

Law enforcement sources have indicated the internal review involves drug investigations conducted by officers.

Bostick had been sworn as an officer in 2000, Hallett said. He worked in

patrol for the agency and currently had been assigned to the agency's Tactical Impact Unit. The group handled a variety of reports, ranging from alleged drug activity to weapons violations, in an effort to stem violent crimes such as robberies.
