La Vergne, Tennessee, officially launched a search for a new police chief after a sex scandal at the department led to the firing of the former chief and five officers.
La Vergne Police Department
gained national attention in January when five officers on Nashville suburb's force were fired and three others suspended over allegations of rampant sexual affairs between one female officer and her male colleagues, including while on-duty. The department lost nearly 12% of its officers following the scandal and employs a total of 60 sworn officers as of earlier this year, Fox 17 previously reported.
The internal investigation carried out late last year found that the escapades among the officers took place at their homes, in hotels, at parties and at the department's gym. One escapade was allegedly carried out during an alcohol-fueled hot tub party where Hall reportedly took off her top at another officer’s house.
Former Police Chief Burrel"Chip" Davis was fired in February after third-party investigators in the city determined he"was aware of the sexual misconduct within his department and never reported or disciplined any of the officers involved."Former officer Maegan Hall, the only female to be fired in the scandal, has since filed a lawsuit against the city, Davis, and former Sgts.
