Officer Matthew Sterling was suspended after his shift Tuesday and informed of administrative charges against him, Police Commission Chairman Emile Geisenheimer said.

Geisenheimer did not specify the charges, but said Chief Paul Jakubson has recommended Sterling for termination.

Sterling is scheduled to appear before the Police Commission at noon. His case is expected to be heard next week, officials said.

Beginning at 9:30 this morning, the commission will hear testimony in the cases of two previously charged officers.

Today is likely to be the last day commissioners will hear evidence about Sgt. Timothy Heiden.

Earlier this month, the commission upheld a series of administrative charges that Heiden interfered with a state police investigation of former town officer Joseph Gambardella, who was fired after allegedly committing thefts at two Madison businesses and stealing from town gas pumps.

New charges that Heiden did not properly supervise subordinate officers on the midnight shift, some of whom allegedly met with convicted felons and prostitutes while on duty, were introduced at the same hearing and will be continued today, lawyers said.

The commissioners will also likely decide upon discipline for Heiden.

Michael Brady, regional counsel for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, said Heiden is being blamed for others’ wrongdoing.

Bernard Durgin, Jr., an officer who was suspended without pay after he allegedly flashed his badge in New Haven in August to try to prevent a friend and fellow Poor Boyz motorcycle club member from getting arrested, is also on the commission’s agenda for today.

Durgin also has been arrested three times in recent months for allegedly using the law enforcement database to get information about ex-girlfriends and other women, for worker’s compensation fraud, and for threatening and intimidating witnesses involved in investigating his alleged misconduct.

Brady said he would likely suggest that Durgin’s hearing be closed to the public, a decision Geisenheimer said the commission would allow.

Heiden had requested that his hearing be public. Personnel matters can be discussed in private session.

Gambardella is due in Superior Court in New Haven to face criminal charges this morning. Durgin is scheduled to appear in the same court in February.

Earlier this month, Sgt. Trent Fox testified that Durgin and three officers who have not been named met with prostitutes during their shifts at various spots throughout town.
