- Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan announced the results of an internal investigation involving ten Tampa police officers that ultimately resulted in the termination of three police officers.
fired from this department, hired at another
We need more investigations into all law enforcement and government agencies.
Oh, so they didn’t want to fine people for small amounts of pot. How horrible.
Dang, the first cops fired.. fired for not making money.... bummer...
These are the types of officers you'd wish you could meet... The ones that use their discretion wisely and don't charge people with b.s. like weed because there actually are bigger fish to fry. The cameras being off is obviously a huge deal but the weed stuff was a GOOD thing Chief.
That's why they were let go. The chief doesn't want cops who use their discretion to be kinder to the public. They want the ones who fish for any minor "crime" to destroy people's lives. The ones that terrorise the public are almost never fired.
Does the chief himself wear a bodycam? Or keep one running in his city issued car? Does he keep the camera rolling in his office? He’s guilty of the same X100. Transparency doesn’t have levels. These officers did what they have been taught to do by the practice of their supervisors on every level.
Having to put Body Worn Camera's on officers to keep them strait is so sadly discouraging.
Straight …..
Strait is a body of water
All three got fired and moved on to another police department outside of Tampa.
Brady list.
What a waste of the people's time and money
Almost sounds like good cops not punishing small-time players
No cops not nicking their mates sorting out who's who nicking the competition but release their pals lol
Thank you chief tor bringing the case before the taxpayers and for taking action against those unruly cops.
Yea but this is happening in all departments this is why I say there's no such thing as a good cop
Don’t worry, this police chief will investigate them selves and find no wrongdoing standard satanic procedure
Give officers a camera battery that will last the scheduled entire shift, and make it so the cameras CAN NOT be turn off by the officer. That camera should be recording at all times during their shift. It should only be allowed to turn on once and turn off once during a scheduled time frame (work shift). And if the battery can't be expanded, then give officers 2 cameras with the same on/off limitations. That should solve this type of problem going forward.
Cops always find away around the body camera. For example the Baltimore cops who put their cameras on in a way that they would fall off once engaged. Didn't take cause sheriff my camera tell off , not my fault!
We have the funding to dress like storm troopers and buy a tank but we can't afford Cameras.
++They may not have bought the tank. Where I live the feds gave the sheriff an armored personnel carrier. I have asked those I have heard calling it a tank to stop. We don't want to give the feds ideas. The feds have thousands of surplus tanks stored in the desert. I would prefer that they not be given to the cops.
That's right, hold them accountable. Even they'll just go down the road and get hired at another department....
Brady Rule should prevent this if the departments cooperate, most likely they will under a situation of this grand matter , so don’t worry about it.
If they caught 3, that means there are 300 more that didn't get this and deserve it.
Expand and make them all wear and use the cameras, they need to be under scrutiny all the time.
Makes me laugh when someone walks in building with camera then occifers etc pounce on em and say turn if camera but above their heads are establishment cameras espec in courts lol lol
They have to be held accountable for everybody else JUSTICE..but firing them for not arresting people with stupid cannabis ..y'all need to investigate the bad officers
How does a police Dept have a brand? Is that like a gang? They were taking the weed and disposing it but not arresting. Why, because it should not be illegal in the first place.
hey chief, who hired them after you fired them?
Damn devils
Thanks again for addressing the issue
I envy police officers for what they do in their daily time. But I don't like officers who disobey orders.
Come to Citrus county and the dirty good ole boy and check out Hernando county too, it’s real dirty there, we the ppl deserve it since we sign there pay checks
You feel like these cops were dirty because they threw a joint out the window. They made more good arrest where large sums of dope was found. The two hours that it takes to lock somebody up for a joint isn’t worth it.
Yeah those officers were cool asf but atleast they are keeping their officers in check and not letting the corrupt ones slip thru
He is sticking to the script. He is presenting to be transparent but I guarantee you he is covering more dirt
ABSOLUTELY
So fire the cops that let the small things go so they could focus on real criminals. Nice
you are a model public servant. ty sir
The same people applauding these treminations....will cry when cops no longer tell you to fump your alcohol and be on your way. Now...everyone gets cited or arrested.
Never should be able to turn the camera off, period!
They do need to fix the camera issue but not busting for weed is the smart thing to do.
Yea along with them placing them they can fall off!
As I said before the EMBARRASSMENT he have to feel inside, explaining the officers 😩 wrongdoing...
How does one say burden it is literally your jobs 🤷♀️
Officers cameras should be on all the time. This is a stupid case. Sometimes an officer let someoneone go after getting caught with marijuana because they looking to get closer to information of bigger crimes
How can you have a press conference in this day and age where the media Still doesn’t have the intelligence to mike up the questions raised from the crowd? So you have a police chief answering a question that isn’t clear if he in fact IS answering the media question. This problem is endemic in most press conferences.
Once an officer gets a set limit of violation they should be stripped of the badge, never be in law enforcement again!
They shoudn't be aible to turn the body cameras off
3 out of 10 ... not too bad
Those cops sound like hero’s
did they get another police officer report? bet so
It always baffles me how crappy the sound is on so called news stations! Left ear only. 🙄
I read it wrong, they were fired for not putting people in jail 😒
I’m not sure not charging for small amounts of weed isn’t that bad..
Grady Judd
Small amounts of marijuana is an understatement!
Well spoken officer I believe he is sincere
Extra financial corriculum
copsplaining
If marijuana is legal use to a point why are police violating that legal right
Maybe Sheriff Judd was setting a good example of how police and Sheriff's departments are supposed to run.Just follow his lead.
Of course they made money on selling it....obviously
Why arrest people when your court system will just turn them loose with a slap on the hand. The justice system is a joke. I would have just let the criminals keep their dope since it’s not worth the paperwork.
Let criminals keep there - save on paperwork!
Another problem is ignorance of what you’re officers doing by video cameras in cars an on body
Bet he didn't put them on the Brady List.
Little boys in policing. Little boys.
How about we don't have a police force at all and people have the balls to handle their own problems - preferably peacefully but violently if necessary - instead of calling "daddy" police officer to come resolve every issue they have in their day to day lives. #PeacefulAnarchistMovement
You mean revolution and anarchy ? We need rules to survive and maintain society. In the future streets gonna be patrolled by cameras and cops will only go out to get the criminals already identified by face recognition.
The cops are being trained to be jackboots, because the NWO is going to have the Jack boots conduct our every move.
He meet with the police so they could get a story together
Tell me this Chief. If you have a BWC why does Any officer have the option to disable or manipulate the camera in the first place. Any manipulation is Tampering with evidence. We don’t have enough money to justify catching our officers violating your rights. Really?? How about letting a independent agency access your budget?
It takes a lot of courage to fire members of your own police department ,the Chief must really feel betrayed but these police officer's.
Some of y'all didn't pay attention to the video. They were fired because they didn't arrest people for small marijuana offenses. Y'all act like they were beating people.
Does every cop in Tampa now have body worn cameras?
Cleaning department is good for taxpayers bcoz there will be less civil lawsuits !
Yesterday going to work i saw angry black people with guns everywhere and cops arresting or chasing criminals. I also saw officer arresting a black guy knee on his neck. I saw it!! could not believed. Police needs to stop that shit
Cops do what they want!
I wear a body camera that runs non-stop from the minute I leave the house until l return at night. They {l use 2-3 body cameras} record everything - eating, toilet, etc - but never off (off & mute functions disabled). Why not the same for Pigs/Cops/Plod?
And States should have video Departments who should archive all videos and full control of them.
The public really needs to wake the hell up a police chief has know real power in hiring or firing an officer that's why most get there job back by the union,
This is BS. Fire cops for not arresting some kids with weed, but hey if a cop beats the crap out of a black guy, they back them.
no money for body cams, TAMPA FLORIDA, really.
You might have terminated them but did you go after their badge no matter where they go they’re going to do the same thing take there qualified immunity and their badge
To protect and serve?
U keep saying bigger fish to fry where was the weed going that they was taken and not turning in
Not if scared of police wouldn't come forward look what happens if they do shot so yea no complainants against a gang !!!
With all police department who already have body worn camera they Must have a policy NOT TO TURN OFF NOR MUTE WHILE INVESTIGATION IS NOT OVER
All the Marijuana was lost in a small series of fires.
Salute to the chief cleaning her department !
Thank you
If this is really the case, there shouldn't be much left of this department.
trust in our community yeah right lmfao
So much money wasted training these people only for them to disregard that training. It's good to do a regular clean-out of these wannabees. I hear Dunkin Donuts is hiring.
Cover up blame 3 cops but let 3 walk all 6 should of been fired
Got'em
The Chief should be sacked as well because the buck stops with him
1940s mob
They gave the pot to family friends and girlfriends. Duh. Everyone knows police always have the best drugs. Lol
I don’t think these cops wr just throwing these drugs in the trash…..this is bs ….they wr selling it or given it to someone else….this guy just doesn’t want to tell the public……come on people…think about how much these cops get away w….do u really think this supervisor would be angry if all these guys wr doing was throwing away a little bit of weed….sorry not buying it.
I'm so sorry CHIEF OTS NOT YOU YOU INHARTED THIS GOD. BLESS YOU AND YOURS MY GOD IM SORRY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE💙🇺🇸🙏⏫
Are u drinking and texting?

Reselling the marijuana for profit
