Longtime eastern Iowa police chief quits amid criticism

News

April 5th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

FARLEY, Iowa (AP) – The police chief in the eastern Iowa city of Farley has quit, saying he can’t work “for a city like this.” Chief Rick Wagner says he gave his two-week notice Monday night at the end of a City Council meeting during which he was criticized. A council member requested a performance review of him, expressing concern about a burglary investigation.

On Tuesday Wagner told the Dubuque Telegraph Herald “I decided I cannot work for a city like this anymore.” He’d been chief for nearly 15 years. Mayor Jay Hefel declined to discuss Wagner’s status but confirmed that Wagner was the only full-time department member. Dubuque County Sheriff Joe Kennedy says his deputies will continue to handle calls in Farley.
