Overview
- City Manager Jason Stuebe said new information beyond the original inquiry led to relieving Chief Dan Zientek of duty without pay pending the investigation.
- Reporting identified Acquire Training Solutions listing Zientek as chief operating officer and instructor, with paid courses advertised at Humble Police Department headquarters.
- The city says it was unaware of the company and did not grant permission for paid events at police facilities.
- A preliminary review found no payments were made to or received from Acquire Training Solutions.
- Investigators are examining possible use of department property, drones, or the city's FAA authorization, and the city says Zientek did not seek required approval for outside employment as the probe by an outside law firm continues into the new year.
