Ethics Commission 03-23-26

This was a preliminary hearing conducted by the Ethics Commission on March 23, 2026, to determine jurisdiction over two complaints (CO 2025 01A and CO 2025 01B). The commission reviewed whether it had authority to proceed with allegations against members of the Lexington FET Urban County government police division. After sworn testimony and a closed session, the commission voted to dismiss the complaints on jurisdictional grounds, citing relevant sections of the ethics code. No substantive determination was made regarding the allegations themselves, and the complaints were dismissed because the Ethics Commission lacked jurisdiction over these respondents.
