Davie police chief placed on leave for derogatory comment about deputy who died of coronavirus

“Chief Engle’s actions were unacceptable and are not representative of the long standing professionalism of the Davie Police Department. Moreover, his derogatory reference to homosexuality and deputy Bennett are shameful and conflict with the inclusive values of the town of Davie and the FOP who proudly support and embrace employees of all races, creeds, genders, religious believes and sexual orientations,” Tucker wrote in the letter.
