In 2023, Sergeant Timmothy Carlton was found to have shared confidential police reports with two suspects in a theft investigation, violating department policy. He also attempted to influence the investigation by directing an officer to alter their report. Carlton was terminated on January 30, 2024, after a four-month internal investigation that sustained 40 violations against him, including sharing confidential information and official misconduct.
