NCRB reviews speeding misconduct allegations against officers Hall and Forsyth

Nashville's Community Review Board (CRB) has concluded its investigation into allegations of misconduct against Officer Tyler Hall and Sergeant Kimberly Forsyth, resulting in both officers receiving written reprimands for speeding while operating a metro government vehicle. The decision was made during the CRB meeting on June 23, 2025, where the board reviewed the findings of the Office of Professional Accountability (OPA).

The allegations stemmed from a complaint by Brian Tinch, who reported that the officers were driving recklessly at speeds exceeding the limit by 25 to 30 miles per hour. Tinch noted that he observed the officers cutting in and out of traffic and using their cell phones while driving. The investigation utilized Trackstar software to verify the officers' speeds and confirm their identities through vehicle numbers provided by the complainant.

Both officers opted for pre-investigative settlements, which meant they were not interviewed further and accepted the disciplinary action without contest. The reprimands were categorized as a violation of adherence to law, specifically for speeding, which is classified as a Category E offense.

During the meeting, board members discussed the importance of implementing training recommendations that arose from the investigation. These recommendations will be forwarded to the Chief of Police and the Mayor for consideration, with a response expected within 45 days. The CRB emphasized the need for accountability and improvement in law enforcement practices to benefit the community.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adopt the findings and recommendations, reinforcing the board's commitment to transparency and community safety. The CRB's reports will be made available on a public portal, ensuring ongoing public access to the outcomes of their reviews.
