A Senior Officer with the Des Moines Police Department has resigned from the force as he is reportedly being investigated for conduct unbecoming an officer.
Senior Officer Rodney Briggs resigned from the police department on July 27th. A complaint had been filed against Briggs alleging conduct unbecoming an officer and he was being investigated at the time of his resignation. Details of that complaint are not being released.
Briggs was previously investigated for alleged misconduct in 2021 for using his role as a police officer to interfere into an investigation into his girlfriend in Pleasant Hill. Polk County Attorney John Sarcone’s office declined to pursue charges.
