A Cincinnati Police officer caught using a racial slur on duty earlier this year has been fired.
CPD announced last month an internal investigation had taken place after Officer Rose Valentino was heard on body-camera video using the N-word. Her police powers were suspended during the investigation.
Interim Police Chief Teresa Theetge announced the termination Monday, saying the decision comes after considering community trust and the officer's "future ability to police a diverse community that relies upon an impartial party to protect and serve."
"Officer Valentino’s agitated demeanor and the statement she made while on duty is not only inexcusable and incredibly hurtful, but it damages the public’s trust we have worked so hard to build over the past 20 years, since the inception of the Collaborative Agreement," Theetge said in a statement. "I want to be clear; this type of hateful speech will not be tolerated by anyone who works for the Cincinnati Police Department, sworn or civilian."

If something like this slips out, there is more going on under the covers. No matter how frustrated I've ever gotten, the N-word has never accidentally slipped out. It's really, really ugly behavior.

She also has other unrelated acts of misconduct on her record. Rose Valentino also allegedly shared sensitive crime scene footage with her family at a dinner and previously faced domestic violence accusations.
