The young lady you are inquiring about has been a part time clerk for the District Attorney's Anti-Drug Task Force for almost two years. I created this position in 2016 when I re-structured and beefed up the ADTF. The job description and hire were approved by the commissioners. Her wages as an independent contractor are paid entirely by funds seized from drug dealers. Under the preceeding DA she served as an intern with the detectives. We offer unpaid detective internships to criminal justice students at Penn State Beaver, Geneva, CCBC, Slippery Rock and etc. After graduating from Penn State Beaver with a Bachelor's Degree in criminal justice she applied for the new part time clerk's position. She was interviewed by me and hired with the approval of the law department and commissioners. She maintains the complex records of the Anti Drug Task Force seizures, grant accounts, forfeitures, as well as records on the drugs deposited in the 19 Prescription Drug Take Back Boxes placed throughout the county and tracks police use of Narcan which we provide to the departments to save the lives of Beavercountians. She sometimes assists the ADTF with the inventory of evidence following a search warrant. I understand that she has been in a long term relationship since high school. This relationship is not a factor in how she performs her work. The father of her boyfriend is even less a factor in how she performs her work. This relationship was not a factor in her being hired because she was highly qualified and was well recommended by her professors at PS Beaver. No hard working college graduate should be painted with your ugly conspiracy brush because of who her boyfriend's father might be, especially when the boyfriend's father is a respected police officer, not charged with any offense, in a country where all are presumed innocent until proven otherwise. Finally, your informant left both the Aliquippa PD and my ADTF without positive job recommendations. I suspect he may have an ax to grind so his bias should be made clear. - David J Lozier
