An internal report alleges some encounters occurred in a police vehicle and a middle school while students were inside.
NASHVILLE, TN — A former Metro Nashville police officer resigned after an internal investigation accused her of engaging in sexual activity while on duty, including inside the middle school where she worked as a school resource officer, according to a local news report.
The allegations against former Officer Lisa Vidrios raise questions about police conduct and supervision in a school setting. The investigative report said Vidrios and another officer engaged in sexual activity at several locations, including a Metro Nashville Police Department vehicle and the school, WKRN reported. The report described the other officer as an unnamed department veteran with 18 years of service.
The alleged activity inside the school occurred while children were in the building, according to the investigative findings cited by the station. Available reports did not identify any students as participants or witnesses, and no allegation of sexual contact involving a minor has been reported. The name of the school was not included in the material reviewed for this article.
Vidrios had been assigned as a school resource officer. Metro Nashville Public Schools says experienced police officers are assigned to middle and high schools to support administrators, build relationships with students and respond to safety threats. Those duties give school resource officers regular access to campuses during the school day.
The internal report also accused the officers of engaging in sexual activity while they were supposed to be performing police duties and inside a department vehicle. The available reporting did not state how investigators learned of the alleged conduct, when each reported encounter occurred or whether video, electronic records or witness statements were used during the investigation.
Vidrios resigned from the police department on June 21, according to a Metro Nashville government personnel document listing employee departures. The record identifies her as a Police Officer 2 and classifies her departure as a resignation. It does not state a reason for the resignation or describe the internal investigation.
Vidrios joined Metro Nashville police after previously working for the San Diego Police Department. In August 2022, she and her husband were recognized as the first married couple to graduate together from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Academy. That earlier report said the couple had moved to Nashville from San Diego and had three children.
The second officer named in the internal investigation has not been publicly identified in the available reporting. It was also unclear whether that officer remained employed, had been suspended or faced disciplinary action. Metro police had not publicly announced criminal charges connected to the allegations in the sources reviewed.
The allegations remain findings reported from an administrative investigation and should not be treated as a criminal conviction. Additional details, including the department policies investigators determined may have been violated and any discipline recommended for the second officer, had not been publicly released.
Vidrios’ resignation has been confirmed in Metro personnel records. The employment status of the other officer and whether the case has been referred to another agency for review remain unclear.
