An investigation into a March traffic stop showed they shut off their cameras during a chase. Three have been the subject of past citizen complaints.

Four Lakeland Police officers resigned Thursday for intentionally turning off recording devices while chasing a vehicle after an attempted traffic stop last March.

Lakeland Police say four of their officers turned off their body worn cameras during a chase in March of 2024. After an internal investigation, all four resigned before they were about to be terminated.

The officers who lost their jobs at the Lakeland Police Department after a body-worn camera manipulation conspiracy maintain their law enforcement certification standards.
