Officer Emanuel Garcia was fired by South Bend’s police board after a conviction for off-duty domestic battery and resisting arrest.
The South Bend Police Merit Board unanimously voted to terminate Officer Emanuel Garcia, 24, following his October 2025 conviction on domestic battery and resisting law enforcement charges from a February incident while off duty.
He received 18 months of probation with no jail time, and five other charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement.
The termination, which followed a prior suspension after a 2024 on-duty shooting, reflects the board’s authority to remove officers based on conduct undermining public trust, even when off duty.
No further details about the incident or deliberations were released.
