WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An assistant chief and four captains were already stripped of badges and guns.

The shakeup at the West Palm Beach Police Department deepens.

WPBF 25 News has learned two more high-ranking officers have just been placed on administrative leave during a financial misconduct investigation — bringing the total number to seven top police command staff now under investigation.

WPBF 25 News was the first to report the police chief was abruptly fired two weeks ago, and in a separate scandal, seven other officers remain under investigation after a July high-speed chase that left two women dead.

Sources tell WPBF 25 News investigative reporter Terri Parker that a major in the Internal Affairs Department and a lieutenant have joined the list of top command staff put on leave.
