Libby Police Sgt. Ron Buckner’s future in law enforcement is in jeopardy after the Montana Department of Justice determined he violated a number of procedures in multiple actions while on duty from Aug. 2022 to Sept. 2023.
Buckner became the subject of a state investigation in 2024 following a complaint made against him. The Department of Criminal Investigation accepted a request more than a year ago to investigate a number of complaints.
At the time, Libby Police Chief Cody Ercanbrack said Buckner was on paid leave of absence pending the review of employment matters. Buckner’s leave began on Dec. 6, 2023. His paid leave ended in August 2024.
