Jensen was investigated in 1999 for allegedly claiming improper reimbursement on some meals. However, the investigation was suspended when Jensen took medical leave from his police job, claiming trauma from a previous shooting and alcohol abuse meant that he was no longer fit for the job. Jensen then requested to continue with his old job in September 2003, which subsequently caused the investigation to resume. Jensen was then interviewed by Dr. David Corey to determine whether he was fit for duty.

This led to Jensen being fired in March 2004 for engaging in a “pattern of deceptive behavior” which included the use of illegal drugs. Jensen was fired by then Mayor Vera Katz. After Jensen threatened Katz with a lawsuit, a monetary settlement was reached that reinstated him as a Captain for retirement reasons
