The Cops Who Shoot Back: A Scandal in Blue The sudden termination of Jennifer Lackard, deputy commissioner for safety in Mount Vernon, New York, has sent shockwaves through law enforcement circles.
Allegations against her include serving as a getaway driver for her son, Chase, in an attempted murder case. This case bears eerie similarities to past scandals involving police corruption in the city.
The fact that Chase Lackard has been involved in multiple high profile incidents – including being shot multiple times and allegedly brandishing a gun at an officer's car – raises questions about lenient treatment he received due to his mother's position within the department.
