TDOC Investigation Leads to Employee Arrest

NASHVILLE – After a 10 month investigation by Tennessee Department of Correction’s Office of Investigations and Compliance (OIC), departmental agents arrested former Probation and Parole officer Leslie Greer.  Greer was indicted on two counts of Official Misconduct, Theft of Property and Forgery.  During the course of the investigation, Greer was found to have stolen more than $2,500 from offenders under her supervision.  The Department of Correction (TDOC) terminated Greer earlier this year.

According to Assistant Commissioner of Community Supervision Alisha James  “Greer’s actions were in direct violation of departmental practices.  TDOC policies are clearly defined to avoid this type of behavior.”   Last year the department launched the Honor the Oath campaign designed to emphasize officer and staff integrity.  TDOC Commissioner Tony Parker adds, “the violation of one’s oath will not be tolerated and I want everyone who would so recklessly disregard their duty to hear me clearly and know that we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”   To learn more about the Honor the Oath campaign, please visit: https://www.tn.gov/correction/news/2018/3/22/tdoc-partners-with-federal-agencies-for-new-initiative.html.  If you have information about misconduct or any threats to the security of our officers or facilities call our tips hotline at 1-844-TDC-FIND (1-844-832-3463).
