A Nashville police officer resigned after a series of explicit videos and photographs were discovered by her husband, revealing a sexual relationship with a fellow officer on school property.
The footage, recorded on four separate occasions in May 2025, shows the officers engaging in intimate acts on a school couch and inside a police cruiser while students were present in the building.
When the officer’s spouse, also a law enforcement member, found the material on a shared location‑tracking app, he reported the evidence to the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Office of Professional Accountability.
The officer, a 37‑year‑old former Marine who moved to Nashville with her family in 2022, had served as a school resource officer at Madison Middle School while raising three children.
Investigators determined that the relationship involved Sergeant Stephen Holland, who had served the department for 18 years before receiving an injured‑on‑duty pension in February 2026.
Several of the recorded encounters occurred while both officers were on duty, raising concerns about the use of police property for personal activities.
Following the discovery, the department’s internal affairs unit conducted a full investigation, leading to the officer’s resignation and the dismissal of the involved sergeant.
The case highlights a broader pattern of sexual misconduct within Tennessee law enforcement, including a 2023 probe in La Vergne that resulted in the firing of five officers and the resignation of the police chief.
In that earlier investigation, a rookie officer was found to have participated in multiple inappropriate relationships, some involving superiors, while on duty.
The city settled a lawsuit filed by the former officer for alleged civil‑rights violations and claims of manipulation and sexual exploitation, paying a settlement of $500,000.
These incidents underscore ongoing concerns about professional conduct and accountability within police departments across the state.
