In May 2018, Officer Charles Hoffman, despite being prohibited, approached officers from a neighboring agency to inquire about an ongoing investigation involving a fellow officer.

He left the agency before any discipline occurred. The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council initiated proceedings, and Hoffman was decertified for failing to respond truthfully after being issued a Garrity warning.
