Jesse Chambers – Terre Haute Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In late 2022, Sergeant Jesse Chambers was captured on a doorbell camera kicking a dog while responding to a call. The video went viral, leading to public outcry. The Terre Haute Police Merit Board imposed the maximum punishment allowed by law: a ten-day unpaid suspension. Chambers appealed the decision, but the board upheld the discipline on February 16, 2023. Additionally, Chambers was required to undergo retraining and an evaluation period within the department. Chief Shawn Keen acknowledged Chambers’ 12 years of service but agreed with the imposed punishment.
