Fraternal Order of Police 'no confidence' vote in Charlotte chief fails

The Fraternal of Police said Tuesday night that a vote of no confidence against Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings has failed.

The FOP said it allowed members to vote over the last nine days, either in person or online. The organization said in a statement that the number of votes received was "not enough to validate an outcome."

Jennings plans to retire at the end of the year.
