A Metro Nashville Police Department officer has resigned following an investigation into an affair with a fellow officer that occurred while on duty at Madison Middle School. Lisa Vidrios admitted to the affair, which included sexual encounters within the school building and a police vehicle.
The investigation began in May 2025 when Vidrios' husband, also an MNPD officer, discovered videos on her phone depicting intimate encounters. The footage showed Vidrios and an unidentified SWAT officer engaging in sexual activity on her office couch at the school, with children reportedly present in the building and staff audible outside the office.
Further evidence included a video of the pair engaged in oral sex in a police vehicle near an abandoned hospital. Text messages reviewed by investigators suggest the affair began around April 5 of the previous year. Vidrios stated that she and her lover had sexual relations in the school building at least four times and in his car twice.
Investigators found that the pair regularly met during work hours and his scheduled overtime shifts. One text exchange detailed plans to meet during a meal break, with the lover stating he would "sneak away." Another incident involved the couple meeting in a school parking garage for an hour and a half while the SWAT officer was on duty.
Vidrios, a mother of three, served nine years in the U.S. Marine Corps before joining the Metro Nashville Police Department. She and her husband were the first married couple to graduate from the police training academy together in 2022. At the time of the investigation, her lover had been employed with the MNPD for 18 years and was assigned to the tactical operations section.
Both officers were decommissioned and removed from police access on May 26, 2025, after the department learned of the alleged affair. Vidrios agreed to a pre-investigative settlement in September 2025, admitting to violations of department policy, including conduct unbecoming an employee and devoting entire time to duty. She accepted a 30-day suspension, followed by her resignation.
The SWAT officer was on FMLA leave during the investigation and was later granted an injured-on-duty pension in February 2026, preventing investigators from interviewing him. However, the Office of Professional Accountability stated that the evidence provided "overwhelming proof" of his involvement. The report noted that if he returns to the MNPD, he will be questioned regarding the incident.
