Following a six-month nationwide search, Wauwatosa native James MacGillis was named the new police chief of Wauwatosa on Thursday.
The Wauwatosa Police and Fire Commission, a five-member citizen-led panel chaired by a former Wauwatosa police detective, confirmed the choice by a vote of 4-1.
MacGillis is the former director of training at the Milwaukee Police Academy and the current drug intelligence officer for the North Central High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program. I am humbled and proud to have been selected to lead the Wauwatosa Police Department as its next chief, MacGillis told the commission after the vote.
MacGillis will helm a department that last year saw a fatal police shooting, a mass shooting, citywide curfews and months of protests throughout the city.

Weier and Morgan Geyser the other woman committed in the case nearly stabbed a middle school classmate to death in 2014 in a Waukesha park so they could gain favor with a fictional internet horror character named Slender Man. The girls, who were 12 at the time, said they believed Slender Man would harm them or their families if they didn t kill someone.
