According to city memos obtained by Miami New Times and confirmed by manager Clarance Patterson, officers have told internal investigators that city cops:
1. had sex with arrested offenders rather than prosecute them.
2. stole property from the station.
3. ordered lower ranking officers to release a person arrested and discard the report, which would violate state law.

Police Officers' credit cards
About 800 credit cards given to police officers have been withdrawn amid an inquiry into alleged unauthorised spending, London Assembly has heard.
Some expenses on the cards were not properly accounted for, police said.
The Metropolitan Police's Director of Strategic Finance Anne McMeel said more than £1m in "unreconciled expenses" had to be matched to receipts.
The authority's chair, Len Duvall, said it was "a disgrace" and that some criminal proceedings had been started.
'No repeat'
In November, independent investigators said they were trying to track down £4.7m in "unreconciled" expenses amid claims employees misused the cards.
Two detectives were arrested on suspicion of theft in connection with the inquiry and were bailed.
Mr Duvall told the London Assembly on Thursday: "It's a disgrace that it happened. Some of these issues have gone through criminal proceedings and others have gone through other proceedings.
"We are determined there is no repeat of this."
He told the assembly that senior officers had to show more responsibility when it came to spending public money.
In December, the UK's most senior counter terrorist officer, the Metropolitan Police's (Met) assistant commissioner Andy Hayman, announced plans to retire following "unfounded accusations".
It emerged he was questioned about £15,000 of dining and accommodation expenses.
Metropolitan Police Authority auditors are currently going through the Met's paperwork as senior officers insisted only a small number of officers were involved in misconduct.
