DeLand Officer Fired For Badmouthing PD

Posted

DeLand, FL - A DeLand police officer is now fired after complaints of her badmouthing the department.

30-year-old Rachael Riley (Center) was fired Monday after she was accused of making derogatory comments about the DeLand Police Department.

She was originally placed on administrative leave after Chief Jason Umberger recommended for her to be terminated when four recruits stepped up and complained about Officer Riley's conduct during a training exercise.

She was said to have made demeaning comments about the recruits and the police department during said exercise.
