He worked for two police departments (Exeter and Auburn), three if you count his earlier internship.

But he never worked as a cop again after the shoplifting arrest. He resigned from the Auburn PD as a result of that arrest and that was the end of his days as a police officer.

He left the Exeter force voluntarily, and started at Auburn shortly thereafter, but that was 1976; the shoplifting arrest was in 1979. Of course, he actually left Exeter because he was caught dead to rights by Visalia detective Bill McGowen in December 1975 and feared identification, since the neighboring departments had occasional collaborations.
