The officers were board members of the now-suspended Overland Park Police Officers Foundation. A recent audit suggested they violated the charity's bylaws and disbursed thousands of dollars to themselves over the years, although they're not currently facing criminal charges.
Four Overland Park police officers who have been on leave since May 2022 after facing accusations of misusing police charity funds have all resigned.
The city of Overland Park announced the officers’ resignations Friday just before 5 p.m. Their departure from the Overland Park Police Department is immediate, the city says.
The four officers were previously board members overseeing the now-suspended Overland Park Police Officers Foundation, the charitable giving arm of the Overland Park Fraternal Order of Police. Neither organization is affiliated with the city of Overland Park.
Sgt. Brandon Faber, Officer Brad Heater, Sgt. Rachel Scattergood and Sgt. Tim Tinnin are all listed as officers for the foundation on tax forms filed between 2016 and 2020. Employee records obtained by the Post indicate all four were placed on leave in May 2022.
