The open records case of Matthew Morin
Title: The Case of Matthew Morin: A Former Wrens Police Officer Under Investigation
In the small city of Wrens, Georgia, a former police officer named Matthew Morin has found himself at the center of controversy and legal scrutiny. Morin, who served as a road patrol officer for the Wrens Police Department, voluntarily resigned from his position on March 1, 2018, following his placement on administrative leave. His resignation came amidst an ongoing investigation by his own department, which subsequently led to a broader investigation by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.
The circumstances surrounding Morin’s resignation were not the end of his legal troubles. Following his departure from the Wrens Police Department, Morin found employment as a police officer in the nearby City of Wadley. However, his tenure there was short-lived. Morin was charged with one count of impersonating an officer for each day he worked in Wadley after July 19, a date significant for being when Morin was notified of the revocation of his Peace Officer Standards and Training Council certification.
The charges against Morin are severe and have drawn attention to the practices of small-town police departments in Georgia. The case has raised questions about the hiring and vetting processes for police officers, as well as the mechanisms in place for holding officers accountable. The investigation into Morin’s actions has revealed a troubling lack of oversight and has prompted calls for reform.
Despite the serious nature of the charges, information about Morin’s case has been difficult to obtain. The Wrens Police Department has released little information, and the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council investigation is ongoing. However, public records indicate that Morin was a salaried employee of the City of Wrens in 2017, suggesting that he had been a member of the police force for at least a year before his resignation.
Matthew Morin’s case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in law enforcement. As the legal proceedings continue, the communities of Wrens and Wadley await answers about the actions of a man who was once tasked with serving and protecting them. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for small-town police departments throughout Georgia and beyond.
