A few days later, Berry proposed a solution: Long could be a training officer for Jesse Moncada, a new investigator in the unit. Long, in a statement to the city , said the suggestion made her angry and embarrassed. She told Berry that Moncada had already been trained and no longer needed a training officer.
They also described how Berry had allegedly dry humped Gibson one day while Gibson was bent over. While there, Long expressed concern for Lear. A few days earlier, records indicate, officials launched an investigation into Lear after they said he lied about leaving the office early.

Haecker and Lear have appealed the dishonorable discharge with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, the state agency that regulates licensing and training.

Caldwell said Long continued to work in the Arson Bureau for several months — even though she was miserable — because she loves doing investigative work.
