In 2018, Chief Bob Folker was terminated for interfering in a domestic violence investigation involving Lieutenant Justin Keeling. Folker informed Keeling of the investigation before criminal investigators could arrive, accompanied Keeling to the courthouse to obtain copies of an order of protection, and allegedly attempted to assist Keeling in quashing the order. An internal investigation found that Folker’s actions violated department policies and adversely affected the department’s reputation. Folker filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming violations of the Peace Officers’ Bill of Rights, but voluntarily dismissed it in December 2018.
