March 18, 2014 Public statement regarding the Police Chief Appointment process

Commissioners have identified two finalists for further evaluation for appointment as our next Chief of Police, both currently employed as City of Madison police officers: Sgt. Mike Koval, and Capt. Carl Gloede. The PFC has commissioned thorough background investigations of these finalists and will conduct further interviews and other appropriate review of their applications, their credentials, and their capacity to provide the department and community leadership expected of Madisons Police Chief. We anticipate that the primary background investigations will be conducted with the assistance of the Dane County Sheriffs Department.
