The commander and superintendent of the 647th Security Forces<\/a> Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam<\/a> were removed from their positions Wednesday after an investigation, the base said in a Wednesday email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation found that the squadron\u2019s superintendent, Chief Master Sgt. Justin Crockett, had created a toxic work environment<\/a> through his actions and the inappropriate comments he made to airmen, both subordinates and superiors, said 2nd Lt. Amber Kelly-Herard, a spokeswoman for the 15th Wing at Hickam. The investigation also found Lt. Col. Christopher Robinson, the squadron commander, failed to appropriately address those lapses in professionalism, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col. Tammie Harris, the commander of the 647th Air Base Group who ordered the investigation, \u201cdetermined the command team did not take appropriate actions to enable and grow the appropriate organizational culture across all levels within the squadron,\u201d Herard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
