Photos of officers at party prompt review

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Corvallis Police Department is taking a close look at photos of some of its police officers.
The pictures show the cops at a lingerie party. College-age women are cozying up to them. The officers seem to be posing for the photos.

The officers were dispatched to the party to investigate a complaint.

The photos have been posted on a Web site called "MySpace."

Now, the department has an investigation going to see whether the officers willingly participated in an activity that could discredit them, or the department.

It has released a report and named one of the officers, who has resigned amid a separate investigation. The police are looking into whether he was having an affair with an Oregon State student when he was supposed to be on patrol.
