Sustained Charge:
Description: Recruit Michael Mancuso was attending Gloucester County Police Academy. He received a suspension from GCPA for numerous Academy Rules and Regulations 3.2.11 (insubordination), 3.2.11 (cheating or plagiarizing), 3.2.41.1 (conduct unbecoming a police recruit), 3.2.43 (dishonesty), 3.2.44.1 (neglect of duty). The suspension was a result of an academy investigation regarding Recruit Mancuso's submission of a 5 page paper in which the recruit admitted to plagarizing the first 3 pages of the assignment. On another occasion, the recruit also displayed deceptive behavior in failing to complete another assignment by only doing 28 of the 50 repetitions of the "Honor Code" that was assigned to him. The recruit was suspended from the academy. As a result of the suspension, Recruit Mancuso's Conditional Notice of Employment with the Voorhees Police Department was rescinded as he was not able to complete the requirements of the notice.
