Cop fired after asking for date
By Sarah Muench, The Arizona Republic, Sept. 20, 2006
A Chandler police officer has been fired after he pulled over a woman under the guise of a traffic stop but instead asked her out on a date. Following an internal investigation, Officer Nathan Dixon, 37, was dismissed in late August - the second Chandler officer to be fired this year. The woman called the Professional Standards Section of the Chandler Police Department on July 12 and told them she was pulled over on July 8 at 2:15 a.m. by an officer in a marked patrol car who asked her out on a date, according to a dismissal letter to Dixon from Chandler police Chief Sherry Kiyler.
Police confirmed the incident when the woman also presented a note Dixon allegedly wrote with his phone number on it, said Sgt. Rick Griner, a Chandler police spokesman. "Your actions violated this citizen's constitutional rights and also violated the public trust and brought discredit to the organization," Kiyler wrote in her letter. Dixon, who was working the midnight patrol shift, had been working for Chandler police for 11 years and had received numerous commendations throughout his career, Griner said.
Dixon would have to be certified again by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board before being able to work again as a police officer in the state.
