Garrett Police Department under investigation.

The Garrett Police Department is under investigation by the Indiana State Police for an incident which took place in 2020. A discrepancy, between what appeared on body camera footage and facts, presented in a criminal investigation in 2020 led to a shake-up in the leadership at Garrett Police. The Indiana State Police were called in by DeKalb County Prosecutor, Neal Blythe three years later as issues are still prevalent within the department. As of Oct. 13, Garrett police officers are no longer allowed to conduct criminal investigations, according to officials.
