I don't know. The article doesn't say what the result of the internal investigation was, but I presume he was not fired since it didn't explicitly say so.
Aside: this man clearly won't win any common sense awards, since it says he sent "often-racy messages to his wife, his girlfriend and a fellow officer."
I'm on the fence about this issue myself. If from my home computer I send an email from my work account, even to my husband, I view that email as company property that they can look at on demand. If from my work computer, I log in to Gmail and send an email, I view that as my property and none of their business, and would be offended if it were monitored.
