Disciplinary Actions Overview – Peachtree City Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Over the past decade, the Peachtree City Police Department has faced several notable incidents involving officer misconduct. These include the accidental shooting by Chief William McCollom in 2015, leading to his resignation and indictment; the termination of Officer Samuel Smith in 2014 after accumulating 30 disciplinary actions over 23 years; and the 2008 resignation of Chief James Murray due to inappropriate use of department equipment. Additionally, the 2015 arrest of Tyler L. Brienza by Officers Mark A. Williams and Adam C. Wadsworth resulted in a lawsuit alleging false arrest. These cases underscore the department’s challenges in maintaining professional conduct and the importance of ongoing oversight and accountability measures.
