Search for Next Chief of Police Update

August 26, 2020 9:42 AM

The Police and Fire Commissioners (PFC) is in the process of conducting a search for the next Chief of Police for the City of Madison. Here's more info on the PFC:
 
The Police and Fire Commission is an independent statutory body overseeing the hiring, promotion, discipline, and terminations of police and fire personnel in the City of Madison. The 5 commissioners are appointed by the Mayor to staggered five-year terms. The purpose of having an independent commission is to separate police and fire staffing matters from local politics.
 
The Board issued the following press release yesterday about their search:
