FITCHBURG, Wis. – Next month, the city of Fitchburg is planning to have a new police chief.
The final four candidates spoke at a community panel at the IUPAT Training Center Tuesday night.
That includes retired Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales, Lt. Scott Kleinfeldt with the Madison Police Department, Cross Plains Police Chief Tony Ruesga and Capt. Vic Siebeneck with the Salt Lake City, Utah Police Department.
Morales has been at the center of a controversy since last summer, when the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission voted to demote him from his position of chief, in part because of his handling of protests following the death of George Floyd. That was later determined to be an illegal violation of his due process rights.
