Alabama police chief resigns after video allegedly shows him sexually harass teen dispatcher - al.com

A small-town Alabama police chief has stepped down amid an investigation into the alleged sexual harassment of a young female employee.
Cordova Police Chief Jason Hare, a husband and father, resigned Monday, Mayor Jeremy Pate confirmed. The resignation came just four months after Hare was hired.
___
The allegations involve an 18-year-old dispatcher. AL.com obtained video of at least one incident in question.
That video, recorded on department surveillance video on Aug. 26, 2025, shows the dispatcher at her computer.
The video shows Hare approach the dispatcher and a short time later, he begins to play with the hair on top of her head.
She makes a gesture to shoo him away. Hare then leans all the way over her as they both appear to look at the dispatch screen.
At one point, he grabs her head and pulls her toward him while he is standing and she is sitting.
He continues to get extremely close to her and then puts his hands around her neck as if he were playfully choking her.
