Aisha Hackley, 35, is charged with scamming an 85-year-old woman by forging checks she stole from the woman's house while on assignment and cashing them to herself and her son, according to court documents.
The allegations against Hackley are just the latest in a string of embarrassments incurred by the police department as six other officers have been charged with crimes ranging from buying stolen merchandise to murder.
In one instance, an officer is charged with killing a woman in Prince George's County and leaving her baby to die in a hot car.
In another, an officer is charged with helping her boyfriend break into several houses.
Three other officers were charged buying stolen electronics.
According to figures from D.C. Police, a total of 16 officers have been arrested in 2011 to date. The number matches the total amount of officers arrested in 2010.
