“One of our officers through her Instagram account had a paywall set up and was posting p*rnographic videos on the other side of the paywall.”
The department then learned that Zielinski had left the force a day earlier, though. Her suspension forced her to leave her job earlier than planned; her resignation letter was set to go into effect on September 23.

Director Graveline said that police officers need to keep their “private life unsullied.”
He said:
“One of the bedrocks of DPD is you have to keep your private life unsullied as well. This is a major point of emphasis to our officers so when we see something like this, Command moves very quickly. Chief White takes these things very seriously because it represents not just DPD but all of the city of Detroit.”
Zielinski responded to the incident and rumours around it on Instagram. The former police officer denied being “fired,” saying she left the department “to better my life and be with the people I care about who love me.”Her Instagram story reads:
“I’m going to just say it since everyone’s finding out… I quit DPD to better my life and be with the people I care about and love me. Never fired, or in trouble whatsoever. So whoever is a [cat emoji] and can’t handle people’s success. That’s on you not me.”
