Assistant Police Chief Jerry Boyer resigned in October 2021 following an investigation into an email he sent to department members regarding the Derek Chauvin verdict. The investigation concluded that the email violated the chain of command, as it was not cleared with Police Chief Denis Otterness. Some department members also felt Boyer was upset about being passed over for the police chief position twice. Boyer expressed regret and shame for his actions.
