Hempstead Village Chief of Police Paul Johnson is retiring after 25 years on the job on Saturday.
His last few years of Chief Johnson’s career have had controversy. In 2019, he was indicted on eight counts for allegedly fixing parking tickets.
Chief Johnson is also named in five separate civil lawsuits—along with a former village police officer who is accused of sexual assault. According to the lawsuits, Chief Johnson knew about the behavior, but turned a blind eye.
