WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) – Whitehall Police Chief Mike Crispen gave a presentation at a city council meeting addressing the lingering allegations against the department. In a roughly 45-minute presentation on Sept. 17, Crispen addressed complaints against him, the city and the department, including allegations of ticket quotas, low morale and that he fired former officer Enrique Ortega unjustly. Crispen also defended his leadership -- with one of the complaints against him being a vote of no confidence in him as a leader -- and the department's initiatives. Recreational marijuana businesses temporarily banned in Delaware Ortega was the union representative for Whitehall police, and he gave a presentation to Mayor Michael Bivens of an internal survey he conducted. According to Ortega's presentation, which NBC4 received a copy of, officers said they were overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and angry. In Ortega's presentation, he showed a graph of 36 officers' answers to department morale, of which 66.67% of respondents said morale was "horrible." Another 22.22% said morale was below average or poor. Only one respondent said morale was above average. Crispen disagreed with these findings. “Almost everything that was said was a lie,” Crispen said. “There’s some stuff that’s got people's morale a little low because they’re being told to work and they don’t like it. And others’ morale is real high because they like the work.”  In June, the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge 9 -- Franklin County's police union branch -- sued the city of Whitehall over Ortega’s firing but voluntarily retracted the case on July 8. In his presentation to City Council, Crispen also accused the FOP of misconduct and alleged that local FOP president Brian Steel lied about the vote of no confidence. Ohio Statehouse leaders address Springfield claims "If all your employees came in, and you had a handful of them who weren't doing their jobs so you made them work harder to do their job so they all got together and wrote a letter and said, 'We have a representative here that says we have no confidence in you,' what would you likely say?" Crispen asked. "'Well, good, now get to work.' That's what you would likely say." In August, Bivens said he would not conduct an investigation into the police department alone because he said he had doubts about the survey’s accuracy.  Crispen also accused other officers of breaking the law, saying several officers who have spoken against him have misbehaved and alleged those who disagreed with his policies would rather be sitting behind Kroger and watching social media. He held the same stance when he spoke on Ortega's firing a few months ago, and maintained in his presentation that Ortega was fired for unprofessional conduct. "Public safety and the ability to ensure good behavior by employees far outweighs the union's feelings or strategies," Crispen said. Ortega and the FOP maintain their position that the former was fired unjustly. Ortega was sworn in as an officer at Mifflin Township last week. In a post on Facebook, he said he is excited to work for his new department and thanked the Whitehall community for support.

"This new chapter does not mean that my fight is over with, it means that the stress of providing for my family has been relieved." Councilmembers said they have spoken with Crispen at length and thanked him for his hard work. Some councilmembers circled back to the discussion at the end of the meeting, thanking him once more or saying they had a lot to think about following the presentation and independent meetings with the chief.
