Co-worker filed false accusations against me, what can I do?
I work in the records section of a police dept. I had a co worker allege that I released records to someone that was not eligible to receive them. He got with a union rep and sent a letter through the city demanding that I not only be fired, but arrested on felony charges. The charges were not only unsubstantiated, but it was determined that he lied. What can I do?

Well, are you union? If so, talk to your union rep -- preferably not the one who met with the co-worker. Have you met with the Commanding Officer? Has the other person be reprimanded?
