Former Police Chief Gabe Edwards was accused of multiple instances of misconduct, including resubmitting his wife’s name to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Program after her departure from the department, accessing restricted information without a law enforcement purpose, using racial slurs, and offering to share inappropriate photos of a city employee’s partner. These allegations led to his placement on administrative leave and a 50% reduction in his salary in October 2023.
