Green Bay police lieutenant suspended for demeaning comments about female officers
GREEN BAY - A Green Bay police lieutenant was suspended and reassigned last year after making derogatory comments about female officers, including one instance in which he remarked about an officer's genitals.
The statements came to light in an ongoing complaint filed with the state accusing the police department of sex discrimination. The complaint to the state Department of Workforce Development was filed by Officer Tracy Liska, a school resource officer who had previously filed an internal complaint against her supervisor, Lt. Jeff Brester.
Brester was suspended for three days without pay in July 2018 after an internal police investigation determined he had said something similar to, "If it wasn't for the c---s in the (school resource officer) program" during a private conversation with another officer, according to records obtained by the Press-Gazette. Brester used the expletive, a derogatory term for women, in reference to multiple female officers, including Liska, according to the complaint.
He also commented on the tightness of a female officer's pants, saying no one wanted to see her "camel toe." The slang refers to the appearance of a woman's groin in tight pants or shorts.
