Two former Memphis police officers have been formally decertified from law enforcement in Tennessee after a hearing by the state’s Peace Officer Standards & Training Commission. This means they can no longer work as law enforcement officers in the state.
The commission’s decision comes after an investigation into the officers’ conduct, which led to their removal from active duty. The exact reasons for their decertification are not publicly disclosed, but the incident is believed to have occurred while they were still employed by the Memphis Police Department.
The Tennessee Peace Officer Standards & Training Commission is responsible for ensuring that law enforcement officers meet certain standards of training and conduct. Decertification is a serious step, indicating that an officer has failed to meet these standards and poses a risk to public safety.
