A Miami Police Department supervisor who claims she was demoted unfairly is now taking legal action against the police chief and the department alleging discrimination.
Former Major Keandra Simmons is using the state law to get protections as a whistleblower so she can keep her job at the Miami Police Department. She said she’s blowing the whistle on what she calls the discrimination she’s faced, after being demoted following a high profile investigation.
"To have it all taken away from you just at a whim is very disappointing and disheartening," Simmons said in an exclusive interview with NBC 6 Monday. "It’s in vain and it was done with no justification and no cause behind it."
