Burlington Deputy Police Chief Jan WrightDeputy Police Chief Jan Wright's resignation will take effect February 21, according to a separation agreement between her and the department. She has worked with the department for over 18 years and has nearly 34 years in the profession, according to a Burlington police news release.Wright admitted in December, after she was promoted to acting police chief, that she ran the fake accounts.
In another post on June 4, she criticizes two city councilors as being"inappropriate and careless" in a case involving a police officer accused of murder, according to the HR letter. "As a member of the BPD command staff, DC Wright exercised poor judgment in deciding to post these derogatory comments, potentially impacting both the Police Department's and the City's credibility with the public and undermining the public trust," the letter read.
