Former York County police officer accused of misusing law enforcement database more than 30 times
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A former York County police officer is facing charges after allegedly misusing a law enforcement database dozens of times, court documents show. State Police at York said in a criminal complaint, Sean Lake, 32, of Dover, allegedly made more than 32 queries through the database to get information for his own use. York County Regional Police said they fully cooperated with State Police during the investigation and that it holds all employees to the highest of standards. 'We have fully cooperated with the Pennsylvania State Police throughout the course of this investigation,' the statement reads. 'The Department holds all its employees to the highest standards of ethical, moral, and lawful conduct—both on and off duty. If an employee fails to meet these expectations, appropriate action will be taken to guarantee accountability.' Lake is accused of 'misusing Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network (CLEAN) and other systems to surreptitiously obtain demographical information for personal use,' police said in the complaint. CLEAN is also a way for law enforcement in Pennsylvania to access the National Crime Information Center, the FBI's National Crime Information Center, and the International Justice and Public Safety Sharing network. State Police said Lake was first given access to CLEAN in July 2020 when he worked with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. His access was first switched when he worked with Lower Windsor Police in August 2022. Then again, when he began working with York County Regional Police in September 2023, and remained in place until being barred Jan. 9, 2025. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now There was an audit that was done by State Police that found several instances where Lake allegedly misused the database, the complaint says. Through multiple interviews, Troopers learned that there was no legitimate law enforcement reason for the queries. State Police said a total of 19 people were looked up by Lake through the database, and he allegedly messaged 15 of them through his Facebook. A total of 19 people had their information searched by Lake, and State Police said that he also allegedly searched for or messaged 15 of them on Facebook. Lake had to go through training and answer statements regarding the lawful use of the database before he could access it. Lake faces 32 felony charges of unlawful use of a computer. Lake is out on unsecured bail set at $50,000 by Magisterial District Judge Scott Laird. He is scheduled to be formally arraigned July 10. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

LISTEN: Overwhelming number of reports impersonating Springfield police
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Springfield Police Department is warning the community, particularly in the Longmeadow area, about a phone scheme. Springfield man charged with DUI, wrong-way driving in Enfield According to police, the scheme involves callers impersonating Springfield Police sergeants in an apparent attempt to defraud recipients. They said police have been getting inundated with reports from residents receiving calls from individuals falsely claiming to be members of the Springfield Police Department. The schemers are using the real names of both a retired and a currently serving Springfield police sergeant to appear credible. Authorities say no one has reported falling victim to the scheme, but residents have been contacting the police after receiving and hanging up on calls. In the audio file provided by the Springfield Police Department, the recording says they are a sergeant with the Springfield Police Department looking to speak with the person regarding a 'confidential legal matter' and leaves a callback number. The scheme appears to be targeting phone numbers in the Longmeadow area, with reports increasing over the past two days. Police are advising residents to hang up immediately if they receive such a call and not to call the number back. Individuals do not need to notify the police unless they have already provided money or sensitive information. In such cases, or if someone wants to verify the legitimacy of a call, they are urged to contact the Springfield Police Department at 413-787-6355. The Longmeadow Police Department is reminding residents that officers will never ask for payment of any kind over the phone and recommends the following to protect yourself from falling victim: Verify the caller's identity: Always request the full name, identification number, and contact information of the caller. Legitimate law enforcement officers will provide this information without hesitation. Refrain from sharing personal information: Avoid disclosing personal details, such as your Social Security number, bank account information, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive data over the phone. Be cautious of urgent or coercive tactics: Scammers often create a sense of urgency, coercing victims into immediate action. They may threaten arrest, fines, or legal consequences to pressure you into revealing information or making immediate payments. Take a step back, remain calm, and verify the authenticity of the call before making any decisions or taking action. Educate yourself and loved ones: Share this information with your friends, family, and vulnerable individuals within your community. By spreading awareness, we can collectively protect ourselves and prevent these scams from succeeding.

Republicans call on Michigan State Police leadership to resign following no confidence vote
Michigan State Police | Susan J. Demas Several Republicans in the Michigan House and Senate on Wednesday called for the director and chief deputy director of the Department of State Police to resign. The call for State Police Director James Grady and Chief Deputy Director Aimee Brimacombe to step down followed a weekend announcement from the Michigan State Police Troopers Association and the Michigan State Police Command Officers Association that said the two groups took a nearly unanimous no-confidence vote against the agency's leadership. Calls for their resignations came from Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R-Porter Township), who is a Republican candidate for governor, state Sen. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake), who is the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and state Rep. Mike Mueller (R-Linden). Department spokesperson Shanon Banner in a statement defended Grady and his leadership team, whom she said 'provide unwavering support to department members and are proud of the public safety services delivered every day to the public and our law enforcement partners across the state.' The no confidence vote follows a year's worth of discontent between the troopers' association and their leadership. Troopers filed an ethics complaint against Grady and Brimacombe in January. A handful of troopers also filed lawsuits against Brimacombe questioning her leadership, as well. Grady was appointed as director of the department following the departure of former director Joseph Gasper. Nesbitt said the vote of no confidence was a damning indictment on the agency's current administration. 'It is undeniable that this is the absolute worst leadership our state police has ever seen and completely unacceptable for the troopers and public they serve,' Nesbitt said in a statement released Monday. 'There needs to be a change at the top and that change needs to happen immediately. Col. Grady must step down or the governor must relieve him of his duties.' Runestad questioned how Grady and Brimacombe could continue in their roles after more than 1,000 troopers voted against their leadership. 'It has become alarmingly clear that Col. Grady and Lt. Col. Brimacombe's failed leadership has disparaged the reputation of the Michigan State Police,' Runestad said in a statement. 'I demand they step down immediately and urge the governor to relieve them of their duties if they do not resign voluntarily.' Mueller, a former law enforcement officer who has been investigating issues with State Police's leadership and other controversies at the individual post level, said troopers spoke loudly this weekend. 'They have no confidence in the current leadership. It is corrupt, dishonest, and doesn't keep the best interest of its own troopers in mind,' Mueller said in a scathing statement. 'If they have any shame, Grady and Brimacombe should resign right now.' In response, Banner said it has been a priority for Grady to conduct in-person visits to department worksites to listen to member feedback. 'During these visits, he's engaged in meaningful conversations, including seeking input from the membership about morale and opportunities for areas of improvement,' Banner said. 'Under Colonel Grady's leadership, the department has continued to invest in better training and professional development opportunities, updated equipment and improved technology. Further, dozens of new troopers joined the ranks last month and this year's proposed budget includes pay raises for troopers and sergeants.' Banner added that Grady remains committed to the department and 'is focused on moving the department forward while maintaining the department's proud tradition of service through excellence, integrity and courtesy.'
