The Fort Myers Police Department is the law enforcement agency responsible for primary law enforcement services in the city of Fort Myers, Florida.
In 2015, officers from the agency arrested former professional football player Nate Allen. Allen was later released and cleared of any charges. An investigation uncovered evidence that Chief Doug Baker had discrepancies in his reports and statements. Baker was fired and an interim chief was appointed. [1]
In June 2016, after a six-month national search, the city manager named Derrick Diggs as the next chief of police. [2] Diggs, who is retired from the Toledo (OH) Police Department [3] was unanimously approved by the city council. [4]
The department acquired a MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle from the U.S. government in 2014. The vehicle, which replaced a surplus V-150, is used by the agency SWAT team. [7]
