Timmons says he placed a tracker on the police chief’s truck and a surveillance camera on a car wash pointing at city hall where the chief’s office is because the mayor’s signature goes on the chief’s time sheets and he had concerns about them.

“The mayor’s position is not just shaking hands and kissing babies,” Timmons said.

But the mayor says he did not expect officers’ signatures on a bunch of resignation letters and did not expect the entire full-time Milner police department to resign effective Wednesday, Oct. 28.

The mayor wants to and says he’ll be able to keep a police department. In the meantime, the sheriff will patrol.

Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn says he’s done nothing wrong.

      @Taldan@lemmy.world is not inaccurate, all they are saying is this isn’t cut and dry, and you should keep reading:

      Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn says he’s done nothing wrong.

      He says his job is not confined to a building, a vehicle or the city limits, that he’s worked remotely at times on administrative matters, emails, for instance, monitoring the radio and more.

      And Bunn says his boss, the city administrator, knows how he works.

      “My job doesn’t stop when I leave the office,” he said.

      The Mayor is a former alcoholic who thinks he’s always right because he found religion.

      And if this was anyone other than an officer, Lemmy would be in an uproar about invasion of privacy and in-office requirements.

        Yeah, because that’s a very important detail that can’t be ignored.

        And I might think you have a point but for the mass resignation. It’s common practice here in the US for cops to just take a job in another department when they get themselves into trouble. These frauds probably already have new gigs lined up.
