According to the NYPD Online system which now tracks police misconduct records, there are no complaints on file for Johnson. We found just one listing for a detective under the name Franco A. Johnson.

 

The Twitter user group “placard corruption” which tweets regularly about alleged illegal parking, especially by the NYPD, tweeted, on March 25, that the group had complained to the NYPD about Johnson in the context of past, parking violations and that the NYPD had responded to their complaints. The group confirmed that the NYPD had confirmed that their complaints were substantiated and that the detective had been disciplined. In the tweet, outlined below, they included a copy of the apparent response sent by Captain Matthew Bomparola to one such complaint.

NYPD Online reports that Johnson was appointed to the Bronx Robbery Squad on Oct. 5, 2017. The NYPD confirmed separately to the Norwood News that he is not part of the 52nd command. He is a third grade detective, and was promoted from police officer to police detective on April 24, 2015, having joined the NYPD in on Jan. 31, 2006. A review of the NYPD recognition and awards shows that he was awarded excellent police duty recognition on 12 occasions and meritorious police duty recognition on three occasions throughout his career.

 

In terms of arrests processed over the course of his career, according to the NYPD Online system, Johnson processed 255 felony arrests, 138 misdemeanor arrests, two “other” arrests, and one “violation” arrest. No other information was available other than his ethnicity, which is listed as Hispanic.

 

Norwood News has reached out to the NYPD for clarification regarding the complaints filed regarding the parking violations, and why they are not listed in the NYPD Online system in Johnson’s file, and will update this story upon receipt of feedback.

 

An arrest is not proof that a person is guilty of a crime.
