Former Police Chief Jerry Geier was terminated in December 2019 following an internal investigation that sustained multiple allegations of misconduct. These included manipulating the department’s hiring process to favor certain candidates, showing favoritism towards specific female officers, and failing to report an officer’s involvement in a hit-and-run incident to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office as required by the Brady rule. Additionally, Geier was found to have been dishonest about his knowledge and authorization of certain department operations. These actions violated administrative policies and undermined public trust in the department.
