6-24-20 Officers resign while under investigation, decertification sought for both

Supervising officers of Lee and Bradley brought potential policy and procedure violations involving the two to Chief David Roddy’s attention. A CPD Internal Affairs investigation was opened immediately on April 29, 2020. Chief Roddy also contacted federal and state agencies to request investigations from those agencies.

After review of the criminal investigations thus far, Chief Roddy on June 22, 2020, afforded the opportunity to Lee and Bradley to resign or move forward with administrative review and action. Both chose to resign.

The Chattanooga Police Department will be requesting decertification from the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards & Training (P.O.S.T.) Commission for Lee and Bradley. The criminal investigations by the other law enforcement agencies are still active and ongoing.
