In August 2023, Officer Jerimiah Kline faced public criticism after posting a TikTok video of himself lip-syncing to Jason Aldean’s controversial song ‘Try That in a Small Town’ while in uniform. The video, filmed next to a police cruiser with emergency lights flashing, was perceived by some as endorsing vigilantism and insensitivity to racial issues. Following community backlash, Kline deleted the video and made his account private. The department mandated diversity training for all officers in response to the incident.
