- Harpe was fired following an internal investigation into Flock misuse.
Officer Fired for Security Breach
Former Savannah police officer Amber Harpe was terminated in August after a departmental investigation confirmed she shared her Flock camera system login information with her husband, Tyler Harpe, an ICE agent. The Savannah Police Department (SPD) stated that sharing access to the system violated its security protocols, as SPD does not share its Flock data with ICE.
Unauthorized Searches and Targets
During his period of unauthorized access, Tyler Harpe performed 983 searches related to 97 license plates. Reports from WJCL, Savannah’s local ABC affiliate, indicate that the majority of these license plates were registered to Hispanic drivers. The Harpes maintained that their actions were for "law-enforcement purposes" and not for personal reasons.
Internal Investigation and Consequences
Initially, Interim Major Max Nowinsky recommended a brief eight-hour suspension for Harpe. However, Major Michelle Halford and Assistant Police Chief Robert Gavin overruled this recommendation, leading to Harpe's removal from the force. Harpe was among six SPD employees fired after an internal investigation uncovered misuse of the Flock system. Four of these employees were later arrested, though Harpe was not among them.
