In January 2021, Officer Justin Moore engaged in an unauthorized high-speed pursuit, reaching speeds near 80 mph, violating department policy that generally prohibits chases for property crimes like stolen vehicles. He received written counseling for this violation. In September 2021, Moore authorized a 24-mile, 19-minute pursuit that resulted in a fatal crash. Despite being commended for managing and terminating the chase, he was disciplined with additional written counseling for initiating the unauthorized pursuit. Notably, in March 2022, Moore was promoted to commander, a decision that raised concerns about accountability within the department.([kdvr.com](https://kdvr.com/news/problem-solvers/brighton-police-sergeant-promoted-after-violating-chase-policy-twice/?utm_source=openai))
