In July 2016, Officer Zachary Brown was arrested and subsequently fired for using his police badge to gain unauthorized access to his ex-girlfriend’s home. He was charged with felony burglary after allegedly forcing entry, removing personal items, and tampering with surveillance equipment. Brown had been with the department for less than three months and had not yet begun patrol duties. The police chief emphasized the high standards expected of officers and terminated Brown immediately following his arrest.
