Christopher Thompson – Charleston Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Sergeant Christopher Thompson was terminated from the Charleston Police Department in 2012 due to allegations of dereliction of duty. He appealed his termination to the Charleston Police Civil Service Commission, but after multiple delays and his failure to attend a scheduled hearing in October 2020, his appeal was dismissed. The West Virginia Supreme Court upheld this dismissal in October 2022.

Important Community Guidelines

  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
