In 2018, Officer James Hill was terminated after failing to respond to an emergency call involving an officer in distress during an overdose incident. Hill cited reasons such as not being dispatched and the incident occurring outside his jurisdiction. Additionally, he was under investigation for a prior incident where he participated in ‘freezing out’ a 13-year-old boy by turning off the heat and rolling down the windows of a patrol car on a cold night to elicit a confession. Hill was promoted to Master Police Officer while under investigation but was later fired in November 2018.
