Legal action: On Dec. 5, 1984, Derricks was convicted of "oppression," a misdemeanor, for misusing his police powers. He also faced charges of kidnapping and solicitation by a public officer.

Joined the Strike Force: Sept. 15, 1986.

Internal investigation: On Nov. 4, 1988, Osborne, 33, was entertaining a woman in a room at the Strike Force office in the Toro Building on St. Croix when someone entered the office and managed to steal a 500-pound safe containing $5,000 in cash, jewelry and confidential documents, including the IDs of informants.

Legal action: None. Osborne told police investigators that he had heard nothing. Police found the glass door of the office broken, giving the appearance that the thieves gained entry that way.
