Brummer Resigns After Ethics Probe | Louisville News

Former Simpsonville Police Chief Thomas Brummer resigned after an investigation revealed he forced a female officer to pray against her will and made inappropriate comments — leading to his 30-day suspension with pay. The probe also found he hired officers with prior disciplinary issues, and since taking office in February, 13 officers have left the department amid concerns over poor recordkeeping. Investigators recommended a year-long performance plan and stricter hiring protocols, including city council oversight of interviews and background checks. Brummer later requested to return as a patrol officer, which the city agreed to. His departure marks a major leadership shift for the department as it seeks accountability and reform to rebuild trust with its community.
