No cop ever owns up to what another does. NEVER!
There's a blue wall, and they always are silent about one another when it comes to this. That's what makes IAD's job so difficult.
They all look after their own. Had this been a cop's kid, the kid would have been rushed to the hospital, possibly out of the jurisdiction, and everything would have been hush hushed about. They do this when a cop's kid has been taking drugs, except they put the kid in rehab. As soon as a warrant is out, they scoop the kid up, and woosh him into a place out of the jurisdiction, gathering all the evidence, and locking it up somewhere. This is why you rarely see cops family members getting locked up.
Part of the Blue Wall of Silence.
They are judge and jury when it comes to anyone else, and many of them exercise that.
