Disciplinary Actions Overview – Lexington Police Department

Over the past decade, the Lexington Police Department has faced multiple allegations of racial discrimination and misconduct. Notably, in 2021, former officer Jervis Middleton was terminated for allegedly providing information to racial justice protesters. Middleton’s subsequent lawsuit highlighted a pattern of racial bias within the department, including instances where white officers accused of more severe offenses received minimal or no discipline. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions, types of violations, and their outcomes are not publicly disclosed. However, these incidents underscore ongoing concerns about departmental practices and accountability.
