佐治亚州一个小镇的全体全职警察和城市经理近期辞职,官员周一在市议会会议上透露了这一消息。
The entire full-time police force and city manager in a small town in Georgia recently resigned from their positions, officials revealed during a city council meeting on Monday.
米尔纳市城市经理陶莎·格罗斯周一晚间告诉市议会,该镇全体全职警察和大多数兼职志愿警员已辞职。格罗斯在会上同时宣布了自己的辞职。
Milner, Georgia, City Manager Tausha Grose told the city council Monday night that the town’s entire full-time police force and most of its part-time volunteer officers have resigned. Grose also announced her own resignation during the meeting.
格罗斯说:“极其遗憾的是,我们全体全职警察部门已辞职,大多数兼职警察也已辞职。此外,我今天也已向市书记提交了辞呈。”
"It is with my extreme sorrow that our entire full-time police department has resigned, most of our part-time police. And also, I've also filed my resignation with the city clerk today," Grose said.
米尔纳市警察局长拉马尔·邦恩指控市政厅秘密在他的卡车上安装了追踪器,该追踪器是用个人资金购买、在市政府其他任何人不知情的情况下安装在其车辆上的。他还表示,自己被诬告与城市经理有染。
Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn accused city hall of secretly placing a tracker on his truck, paid for with personal funds and without the knowledge of anyone else in city government. He also said he has been falsely accused of having an affair with the city manager.
邦恩在会上说:“市政厅每天都在追踪我的卡车,追踪器是用个人资金买的,在市议会和我的上司、城市行政长官不知情的情况下装在我的车上。问题是,我仍在寻找一线希望留在该市。我不知道为什么。因为我毕生奉献给了拉马尔县。在治安官办公室工作了15、16年,现在我又回到了这个县。我父亲1974年就在这里当警察。我在这里有根基。”
"City Hall every day, it's got a tracker on my truck, it was bought with personal funds and placed on my vehicle without the city council or my supervisor, city administrator knowing it," Bunn said at the meeting. "Here's the thing, still I'm looking for a glimmer of hope to stay in the city.
会上,市长克雷格·蒂蒙斯承认了这些担忧,并表示希望能解决这一局面。官员们曾在警察加班费和一项禁止警员将公务车用于兼职工作的提案上存在分歧,但这些争议未被列为辞职的原因。
I don't know why. It's because I've devoted my life to Lamar County. 15, 16 years with the sheriff's office and now I'm back here in this county. My dad was here in '74 policing with his police department. I got roots here." During the meeting, Mayor Craig Timmons acknowledged the concerns and said he hopes the situation can be resolved.
福克斯新闻数字版获得的辞职信显示,邦恩称因在法律和道德问题上与市领导层存在冲突而辞职。
Officials had disagreed over police overtime and a proposal to bar officers from using city vehicles for part-time work, but those disputes were not cited as the reason for the resignations.

“我认定,鉴于在领导力、治理和伦理取向方面存在根本分歧,此时辞职符合我的最大利益。遗憾的是,市领导层近期的行动和治理决定——具体涉及法律合规、道德标准和核心价值观——已损害了我履行职责的廉洁性,”邦恩说。
In resignation letters obtained by Fox News Digital, Bunn said he was stepping down over what he described as conflicts with city leadership on legal and ethical issues. "I have determined that it is in my best interest to step down at this time due to fundamental differences regarding leadership, governance, and ethical alignment.
米尔纳警察局的其他全职员工也呼应了邦恩的担忧,米尔纳警察局队长克雷格·沃尔顿在辞职信中要求对蒂蒙斯进行调查。
Regrettably, recent actions and governance decisions within city leadership-specifically regarding legal compliance, ethical standards, and core values-have compromised my ability to perform my duties with integrity," Bunn said.
“我衷心希望米尔纳居民和市议会成员能严肃对待这些担忧,并推动对市长行为进行独立调查,包括其是否存在违反就职誓言或侵犯市政府雇员权利的行为,”沃尔顿说。其他几名警察局员工也以与市长和市议会存在分歧为由提出辞职。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系蒂蒙斯置评。
Other full-time employees at the police department echoed Bunn's concerns, with Milner Police Captain Craig Walton demanding an investigation into Timmons in his resignation letter. "I sincerely hope that the residents of Milner and the members of the City Council will take these concerns seriously and pursue an independent investigation into the Mayor's conduct, including any potential violations of his oath of office or the rights of city employees," Walton said. Several other police department employees also cited disagreements with the mayor and city council as the reason for their resignations. Fox News Digital reached out to Timmons for comment.
