In January 2020, Cpl. Alex Sims was terminated after an internal investigation revealed he admitted to viewing child pornography online. He also lied to investigators about a false profile name used on social media and failed to notify his superiors about being under investigation by another law enforcement agency. Sims had been with the department since April 2013 and was promoted to corporal in 2019. ([newsobserver.com](https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/crime/article240166143.html?utm_source=openai))
