Groveport Police Chief Placed on Paid Leave Amid Sexual Harassment Investigation
Groveport Police Chief Casey Adams has been placed on paid administrative leave following allegations of sexual harassment involving a fellow officer.
On March 4, Mayor Lance Westcamp took action, putting the Groveport Police Chief on leave while an independent investigation is conducted. Groveport Law Director Kevin Shannon confirmed the decision but did not disclose further details about the case.
To ensure a fair and thorough inquiry, the city has hired employment law specialist Anne Duprey from the law firm Frost, Brown, and Todd. Meanwhile, Captain Kurt Blevins has stepped in as the acting Groveport Police Chief, overseeing the department’s 26 full-time officers and civilian staff.
Brian Steel, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, acknowledged the complaint, stating that if the allegations are true, accountability is expected. He praised city officials for handling the matter professionally and ensuring a proper investigation.
The Groveport Police Department continues normal operations as the investigation into its leadership unfolds.
