Nine San Diego Unified School District police officers announced Wednesday they plan to sue the school district, the superintendent, and the department's police chief over allegations of corruption, favoritism, and retaliation. According to attorney John Gomez, who represents the officers, many issues stem from an alleged personal relationship between Chief Alfonso Contreras and one of his subordinates, Sgt. Jenifer Gruner. "It quickly became apparent there were now two camps within the same police department," said Gomez. "If you approved of the relationship between the chief and the sergeant, according to the evidence, you were afforded favoritism, better opportunities, better treatment. If you disfavored or did not support this relationship, you were subject to retaliation, intimidation, and bad treatment."
