In April 2021, Officer John Strickland’s estranged wife obtained an order of protection against him after he sent her violent and threatening emails. The order prohibited him from possessing firearms and ammunition while on duty. Additionally, he sent a threatening message to another woman who had accused him of conspiring to have her brother arrested. Strickland resigned in June 2021 in lieu of termination, and in January 2022, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board revoked his certification, effectively banning him from serving as a police officer in Arizona.
