History

Officer hiring controversy

On July 5, 2022, Officer Timothy Loehmann was sworn in as Tioga’s only police officer. In 2014, Loehmann, while employed as a police officer in Cleveland, had shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice who at the time was holding a pellet gun. Loehmann was never charged with a crime, but the incident caused protests. His hiring by Tioga’s borough council caused a public backlash. A week later the resignations of Loehamnn, the borough council president, another council member, the borough attorney, and the borough’s code enforcement officer were accepted by the borough council. According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the borough broke the law by failing to perform a proper background check before hiring Loehmann.

An investigation by Spotlight PA later found Loehmann was properly hired, but state law concerning back ground checks for law enforcement hires lacked the capabilities to flag Loehmann because he had not been previously employed as a law enforcement officer in Pennsylvania. The investigation also found a string of personal disputes between members of the borough government, including the mayor and councilmembers, and contradictory statements from those involved in Loehmann’s hiring.
