Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge Fired Amid Leadership Concerns and Legal Threats
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge has been dismissed by City Manager Sheryl Long following a five-month investigation that concluded she was not an effective leader. Theetge, who was placed on paid leave six months prior, plans to sue the city, city manager, and mayor for allegedly violating her constitutional rights. Her attorney, Steve Imm, claims that Theetge was used as a scapegoat for the city's failings and that the charges against her are unfounded. Theetge had initially indicated a willingness to step down but later demanded $7.5 million, according to city officials.
