Nashville Police Chief Removed by Town Council, Her Supporters Are “Ashamed” and “Outraged”

[firecadet613]

Be interesting to know whether she began the job so far away or moved after getting it? Or if she concealed how far out she was?

Every day Burris racked up 136 miles on her taxpayer owned patrol car, before she was even in effective range to respond to calls? Same goes for fuel consumption. +/- 5 gallons fuel daily used just to get to the streets of Nashville?

Let alone emergency response time, requiring the chief's presence in the best case just under an hour, depending on how many speed limits were broken?

It was in the link KLB shared.



IMPD academy in 2016, joined NPD in 2020, and chief by 2024.

Thanks. Reading is fundamental, eh?

Did anyone notice that they quoted what Nashville pays the police chief and the patrol officers?

Graduates from the IMPD Academy in 2016, named Nashville PD Chief in 2022.

I never made Chief, it took me 19 years to make SMSgt.

6 years experience seems kind of short to be the Chief of anything, just sayin...

 

[gassprint1]

Seems hiring her knowing a big distance to Nashville even if she changed her mind about moving wouldn't be good enough cause to let her go. Sounds like the town council needs to get their shht together.
Atleast that lady chief didn't get fired for stealing stuff from walmart like the town Marshall Kelly Fisher of NorthJudson did...

It used to be the other way around, before George Floyd, defund the police and "hands up don't shoot."

A common move twenty years ago was Nashville and the Brown Co Sheriff sending new hires to the Academy, for the officer to bail and go to the next highest bidder in a couple years or so. Eventually, the goal of all officers was to get on at IMPD, as they had the highest pay/benefit package.

Not sure IMPD is as desirable as they once were?

DEI hire? Is this what it's come to? A girl that looks like she's 20 years old running a police department. Lol

I believe that's public info for most departments.

Nah, now you want to get on Brownsburg, Carmel, Fishers, etc. Higher pay, nicer cars, less crime, etc.

Trying to get my nephew to apply for ISP. $70k right out of the academy...

Her? Maybe after a beer or two.

Now the one congratulating her?

“How YOU doin?”

 

[Phil502]

The Chief makes a statement after being let go and she’s crying. Got to be a DEI hire.

Either one. I just wouldn't admit it to you guys afterward.

Agreed. Someone strong enough to achieve that position legitimately doesnt cry on the way out the door. Maybe if your actions caused lives to be lost and you are discusing them while you are saying goodbye after being fired for your incompetence, sure.

But just losing your job because you arent qualified? No.

You don't look like you're old enough to have a nephew that is of age to join the ISP! You must be the baby of a large family, like me.

More reasons than the commute. Even so the town cut her a break when they hired her, and she paid them back by breakin her promise? Bye bye.

You have to find someone who wants to do it for the pay. Never been a cop, but I’m going bet that the candidates for small town police chief are going to be mostly young ambitious types looking to build a resumé and old retired types from somewhat larger departments who need to plus-up their retirement pay.

Not too many Andy Griffith-types out there.

p.s. according to openpayrolls.com and the latest year for which they have data, 2022, as police chief Burris made a little over $48,000 per year.

Interestingly, one of her patrolman made more money, 53K per year. I suspect he had seniority. His name does not appear on the current town website listing of merit (FT) officers, but there is an open position. So I guess he retired or moved on.

Anyone know what the crime level is in Nashville these days? I can't imagine a lot of police action needed from the visits I've made there.

This drama makes Tippecanoe County's Peyton Place, Dayton, look tame.

Nobody can live in Brown County on $48k, even with vehicle costs comped.
