Jimmie Richey – Collinsville Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In August 2014, Chief Richey was accused of sending untrained and unprotected officers into a residence with an active meth lab, potentially exposing them to toxic fumes. He denied the allegations, stating that only he and another officer entered the residence to deal with two subjects. The Department of Labor investigated the complaint, and the city manager anticipated that the investigation would clear Richey’s name.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
