Madison PFC selects Shon Barnes as new police chief
Dr. Shon Barnes, of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability in Chicago, will be Madison’s next top cop.
On Friday, Madison’s Police and Fire Commission voted 3-2 to extend a conditional offer to Barnes, after he beat out a crowded field of more than 40 potential candidates and four finalists to secure the position.
In a brief Q&A video posted by the Police and Fire Commission earlier this month, then-candidate Barnes outlined his work history and approach to policing.
He formerly served as Deputy Chief of Police in Salisbury, North Carolina and as a Captain with the Greensboro Police Department where he began his career as a patrol officer in 2000.
