Tampa City Council candidate Chase Harrison had 10 sustained violations as a police officer

A retired Tampa police officer now running for Tampa City Council had a career marked with several breaches of department policy, documents show.

An internal affairs report obtained by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay through a public records request shows Chase Harrison received several letters of counseling and was suspended from extra duty by the Tampa Police Department.

The candidate for District 1 breached TPD’s standards of conduct, failed to follow safety protocols and failed to appear when subpoenaed by a court twice, along with several other infractions.

He received 10 sustained violations, and two accusations of breaking policy deemed “unfounded.”
