SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — An officer with the San Francisco Police was arrested Wednesday for allegedly possessing child pornography.

37-year-old Joshua Enea, of Antioch, is facing a felony charge of child pornography possession out of Contra Costa County.

Enea has been booked into county jail. His bail has been set at $100,000.

In February, SFPD began investigating after learning that an officer may have been in possession of child porn, according to police.

An investigation uncovered enough evidence to arrest Enea.

Enea is a 10-year veteran of SFPD. He has been placed on suspension without pay.

While police were investigating, Enea was removed from direct contact with the public, police said.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.

Authorities say they are still actively investigating people in connection with the case.

Police released a statement saying, “The public’s trust is of the utmost importance to the members of the SFPD. The Department will continue to work hard with the community to build and maintain this trust.”

According to Transparent California, Enea’s total pay and benefits with the department totaled $191,104.84 in 2016.

Enea has appeared twice previously in news stories. In 2010, he was reportedly bit by a graffiti artist who was accused of hate crimes. And in 2015 he appeared in a story about a program in which volunteers drink in front of police to help them learn how to identify intoxicated drivers.

If you feel you may have been a victim or have had any suspicious contact with Enea, please contact the Internal Affairs Criminal Unit at (415) 882-8420.Stay with KRON4 News for updates
