The entire police department of a North Carolina town resigned on Friday after a new town manager was hired, according to the former police chief.

Kenly Police Chief Josh Gibson, as well as four other full-time officers, the town clerk, and a utilities clerk, resigned, according to letter (pdf) that were sent to the town’s council and new town manager Justine Jones. Gibson blamed what he described as a “hostile work environment” for the mass exodus.
