Former La Vergne Police Sgt. Henry 'Ty' McGowan might never be able to work in law enforcement in the Volunteer State following the sex scandal that rocked the Tennessee department.
Memphis Police Department's Ret. Col. Darrell Sheffield speaks out against ordinances passed by city council that he said limited officers' ability to prevent crime.who was fired over the La Vergne Police Department sex scandal is facing a ban on ever working in law enforcement in the state again.
Former La Vergne Sgt. Henry"Ty" McGowan was fired late last year after a probe discovered members of the force were having repeated sexual trysts, some while on duty. The probe led to the firing of five officers, the suspension of three others and the eventual firing of former Police Chief Burrel"Chip" Davis.
The Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission held a decertification hearing Thursday in Nashville against McGowan, as well as three other police officers from the state who were fired in connection to the death of Tyre Nichols, Fox 17 reported. None of the four officers showed up to the hearing and were subsequently recommended for decertification as they were unable to defend themselves against information brought forward by their former departments. Another POST Commission hearing was held Friday, when the full board voted to decertify the officers, Fox 17 reported.
McGowan has 30 days to comply or appeal the decision. He will face a formal meeting in April if he appeals or become officially decertified if he complies.
