Three former Memphis, Tennessee, police officers involved in the death of Tyre Nichols were officially decertified Thursday and will no longer be allowed to work in law enforcement in the state
The Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, which is responsible for training and enforcing standards for all local police departments in the state, voted unanimously to decertify Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith. The decision comes almost two months after Martin, Smith, Haley and two others – Tadarrius Bean and Desmond Mills Jr. – were charged with second-degree murder in Nichols’ death. The five have pleaded not guilty.
“In the matter of Emmitt Martin and Justin Smith, in addition to the same violations as Haley, Martin and Smith were also found to be in violation of duty to intervene and reporting improper conduct during an internal investigation,” Williams said. Attorneys for the three former officers had asked the commission to place their decertification in pending status. The commission agreed on the condition the attorneys appear in person at Thursday’s hearing.
