$303.836.29: TOTAL TAXPAYER EXPENDITURES TO MARK ALCOCK, FORENSIC EXAMINER (May 2013 – June 2014)

ABSTRACT: “Last Thursday, Calhoun issued a statement announcing the investigation was closed because computer expert Mark Alcock couldn’t find evidence of any criminal wrongdoing,” according to reporting in The Carmel Pine Cone. “The investigation concerned allegations that Steve McInchak unlawfully gained access to personnel files and information,” according to Calhoun’s statement. “The examiner was unable to provide sufficient information to proceed further with the investigation. Based on the inability to further the investigation, the police department has closed the case.” Rosen said the case “also raises a lot of questions about this private forensic computer examiner, Alcock, because he was the one who looked at McInchak’s computer and said that he thought there were signs of wrongdoing. It was based on those allegations of Alcock that [the city] was able to get a search warrant.” And “Why did they spend so much money on him for nothing? And why did it take so long? I think the citizens of Carmel are entitled to know more detail about what happened and what this guy was paid for and why it came up with goose eggs,” Rosen said. Total taxpayer expenditures to Mark Alcock, Forensic Examiner, as of the June 2014 City Check Register, $303,836.29.
In Summary, total expenditures per month:
June 2014 $42,550.00
May 2014 $8,200.00
