Commander Brian Blunt was terminated in 2023 following an external investigation that found a pattern of making offensive comments related to race, gender, and religious orientation. Blunt filed a lawsuit against the Town of Gilbert, Police Chief Michael Soelberg, and the Human Resources Director, alleging wrongful termination and seeking reinstatement and damages. The case was moved to the U.S. Federal District Court in late 2023, and as of November 2023, no trial date had been set.
