Suffolk Police Sergeant Falsified Time Sheets, Stole Over $7K: DA

A Suffolk County Police sergeant accused of falsifying his time sheets and stealing more than $7,400 faces felony charges, Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini said Tuesday.

Robert J. Kall, 48, falsified police department records to indicate that he had worked full shifts when he had not on 12 separate dates between Feb. 3, 2016, and July 17, 2018, Sini said.

On nine of the dates, Kall initially recorded himself as not working and later altered attendance records to falsely indicate that he had worked a full shift, Sini said. On three of the dates, Kall reported himself as having worked full shifts without reporting for duty, Sini said.

“This incident was referred to the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau after a police supervisor noted a discrepancy in Sgt. Robert Kall’s time and attendance,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “Following an internal investigation, Kall was immediately suspended without pay and the matter was turned over to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Misconduct of any kind is taken seriously and will not be tolerated in this department."

Kall, of Shoreham, worked out of the Seventh Precinct in Shirley. His salary was $199,664 in 2018, according to data posted on See Through New York.

Kall is charged with third degree grand larceny, third degree corrupting the government, first degree falsifying business records and official misconduct.

Kall surrendered to detectives from the DA's office Tuesday. He was arraigned on the charges and was released on his own recognizance.
