'Not worried': Mayor fires police chief, suspends entire police force following investigation [View all]

The mayor of a city in Georgia fired its police chief and suspended the entire police force following a lengthy investigation.

In a social media post, the City of Warm Springs announced that Mayor Robyn Pynenburg fired Police Chief Emilio Quintana and suspended the remaining 13 police officers, WANF reported.

“The decision to terminate Chief [Emilio] Quintana and suspend the police force was made after careful consideration of recent events and emerging concerns regarding the conduct and operations within the department,” city officials said in a social media post Wednesday.

The Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council confirmed that they’re investigating the former police chief for “unauthorized use of city vehicles and representation as an officer in an unauthorized duty of office.”
