Police Officer Fired<\/strong><\/div>\n
Sarah Stokes<\/div>\n

An Eau Claire police officer was fired Tuesday after the police and fire commission decided he conducted questionable polygraph tests.<\/p>\n

Todd Trapp was accused of not keeping documents related to the polygraphs he worked on and finding incorrect results.<\/p>\n

Now the Eau Claire Police Department will have to review all the cases Trapp worked on and see if investigators need to question the people who took polygraphs with Trapp again.<\/p>\n

He was a 20 plus year veteran of the force and has been on administrative leave for three months.<\/p>\n

He will receive his pension for his years of service. Trapp’s attorney says his client is disappointed, but has not yet made a decision on an appeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
