This revelation went beyond mere office romance, casting doubts on the professionalism of the police force.

The story quickly transcended local boundaries, becoming a nationwide talking point that intensified the pressure on the beleaguered police department.
The Tangled Web Unraveled
As HR head Andrew Patton delved into the investigations, a complex web emerged.
