Lieutenant Dwayne Pollard was terminated in November 2021 for violating department policies related to the processing of multiple death investigations. Specifically, Pollard conducted examinations of deceased individuals in a manner inconsistent with department expectations. An internal investigation, supported by an independent agency specializing in law enforcement best practices, concluded that Pollard’s actions were not justified. Although a criminal review by the Department of Public Safety found no criminal activity, the termination was upheld upon appeal.
