On Town of Beloit police officer accused of misconduct

What is easier is not always right. The Chief has been there since 2003. If the problem was the Chief, why hasn't there ever been anything before a year ago? The department as a whole did a decent job, the officers were law-abiding, there were no news stories about the alleged misconduct of the Chief. Not only that, but the Chief has 36 years in law enforcement. If he was the problem, it would have come out before this. Talk to people from his previous departments, again, nothing like this ever before. Then go look at the backgrounds of certain officers on that department, specifically those behind the alleged no-confidence vote. Guess what you will find? The problem isn't the Chief. Read this article again and the followup article, there's 1 part of the problem. I for one am looking forward to when the records on this incident are fully available to the public. Do some open records requests on the former detective, the former deputy chief and you will find out why they no longer hold those positions. It has nothing to do with a "witch hunt" and everything to do with their own shortcomings and lack of fitness for the positions. But then again, most people tend to blame others for wrongdoing and refuse to take responsibility for anything. Again, check the open records. The Chief took responsibility for what he did but not for what were flat-out lies and false accusations.

niceone, I don't ethics classes will help people who have no ethics to begin with, but hey it was a good thought. kman 53, that is an excellent idea. Get rid of the criminals, liars and trouble-makers and get decent officers in there to work with the few ethical, law-abiding members of the department. There may be something worse than cops that break more laws than the criminals they arrest, but there isn't much worse.

officerfriendly1: Hmmmmm, wonder if it has anything to do with their towing/administrative fee policy?

Tow policy??? Where the heck did that come from? How did you come up with that when the article is about a no-confidence vote? There's nothing even remotely hinting at the tow policy in the article.

Give it a break, rooster. Better yet, get a hobby besides obsessively bashing Township PD. This single-minded vendetta you have against Township PD blinds your objectivity and damages any credibility you might otherwise have.

If you have such an issue with the tow policy, why not go to a town meeting and address the town board? That would at least be a productive method of trying to deal with something you clearly take offense at. At a minimum, it would be far more productive than posting negative comments about it every time there's an article where the Township PD is mentioned.
