Nitro Police Department Review

• {Nitro, West Virginia}...Nitro City Council members asked for an examination of all the police department's special revenue funds going back to 2007 after state auditors found $58,000 in inappropriate expenses made from the police benefit fund. That review reveals several payments to the wife and son of Nitro Police Chief Jack Jordan and that the police department wrote hundreds of dollars in checks to individual police officers to buy Christmas presents, and apparently paid officers in cash for off-duty work overseeing local construction projects. Nitro Mayor Rusty Casto says he and members of city council will look over the records and discuss them at a regular meeting on December 6th.
