Entire Police Force Resigns Amid Complaints of ‘Micro-Managing’ Mayor
30th November 2020
The entire police force of Pine Ridge, South Carolina, quit their jobs in protest of alleged micro-management by the city’s mayor in October, according to The State.
The Pine Ridge Police Department’s interim police chief, Lt. Vincent Silano, the only full-time police officer for the town of 2,000, resigned on Oct. 13 of this year, The State reported. The department would normally have three full-time cops.
Silano cited “the constant impediment of police matters and micro-managing at the hands of Mayor Robert Wells” in his resignation letter.
