Original Report From January

Two Philadelphia police officers from the department’s elite Narcotics Strike Force faced punishment this week for a racist poster found inside a locker, back in January.

Police confirm two officers, Scott Schweizer and Eric Dial, have been transferred out of the narcotics squad.

The disciplinary action followed a two-month internal investigation that began after two paper emblems were found inside Schweizer’s locker. One read: “White Only”.  The second showed a police officer on one side and a white hooded character on the other.  It said “Blue By Day, White By Night”.

A published report says Commissioner Charles Ramsey personally punished the two officers and put them back on routine patrol.

Ramsey reportedly also gave each a 20-day unpaid suspension.
