Entire Chelsea Police Department Quits; Rogers County Covering Calls

Wednesday, all the officers at the Chelsea Police Department quit their jobs.

According to reports, officers learned of a plan to fire the chief, and instead of waiting to be fired, they quit.

Back in May, one officer almost lost his job after pulling over a business owner and officers said that incident is what created the hostile work environment.
