STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A police officer from Staten Island is being investigated by the Internal Affairs Bureau for an alleged romantic relationship with a parolee, according to the Daily News.
Police Officer Nancy Heinz, 53, dated Mark Liverano, 48, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the fatal shooting 20 years ago of a man outside a diner in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, according to the report.
Heinz remains on active duty and is assigned to the 120 Precinct in St. George, according to a spokesman for the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information. She joined the NYPD in 1989, according to the police spokesman.
"The incident is under internal review," according to an email from DCPI.

unless this guy is an active criminal or a once in a while criminal than this is a non story. frankly, this article doesn't mention that very important fact so what the writer of this article/si advance actually did is get into this persons personal life in a negative way for absolutely no reason. very poor judgement on your part I think

A parolee for a crime committed 20 years ago.  Is the man still an active criminal?  Any recent arrests/trouble?  If the man served his time, and has stayed clear of trouble, why should it matter?  If a police officer had a family member who served time for the same offense, and has also stayed clear of trouble, would that officer be under investigation as well?

Isn't kind of a low blow to report on an active officer who is merely bring investigated?  She hasn't been arrested, disciplined, or suspended - this is more of a gossip item than a legitimate news report.
What about other occupations where a person works for the city, and may be subject to an internal investigation, does the Advance print those stories in the guise of news?  It's so easy to target police, teachers, and firefighters for attention getting headlines on articles that aren't really worthy of being reported.

Is it legal to dictate what people do on their own personal time off-duty?

Yes, in fact it's policy. I agree though, that some "policies" in regards to Off Duty conduct, should maybe be more overlooked (like this one), than that of On Duty conduct, which is really where the problems enforcing Police are. 
I mean Cops get bagged for Off Duty conduct all the time, but they can literally murder somebody On Duty, and nothing happens, and that's the problem. 
But in this case, this is silly given everything else going on. 
I mean what do you do when you want to go on a date? Do a Background Check and polygraph? Ridiculous.

Terrible, A person who needs companionship is being investigated. Why don't the IA look into some of the disability pensions that are handed out?
