The supervisor of the Beaverton Police Department's Internal Affairs Division is on leave amid an investigation that began two months after he was appointed to the division.
Sgt. Arthur "Art" Morton was placed on administrative leave in September and went on personal leave Nov. 22, said Officer Mike Rowe, a Beaverton police spokesman. Rowe said he could not discuss details of the ongoing internal investigation.
Morton joined Beaverton police in January 2010 as an officer and was promoted to sergeant in August 2011, Rowe said. He previously worked for the Tigard Police Department.
Morton made about $112,800 in 2012-13 fiscal year including overtime pay. His base salary was a little more than $80,100.
