In 2016, Detective Thomas Nagel was terminated for violating 19 department policies, including dishonesty and bringing discredit to the department. Investigations revealed that Nagel lied about his knowledge of a false whistleblower allegation and failed to disclose the identity of the person responsible. His actions led to a loss of public trust and rendered him a ‘Giglio impaired’ officer, compromising his ability to testify in court. Nagel filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city, alleging retaliation for his union activities, but the court upheld his dismissal.
