New hearing dates have been set to review charges against the two top officers of the Beloit Police Department.
The Beloit Police and Fire Commission scheduled nine days in January to hear evidence against Beloit Police Chief Norm Jacobs and Deputy Chief Tom Dunkin.
City Manager Lori Luther told a news conference October 13 that Jacobs and Dunkin “grossly mismanaged the department, incurring significant liability for the city and the community as a whole.”
She filed a total of 14 charges against the Chief and 10 charges against his deputy. They have been on administrative leave since June.
Attorneys for the two called the charges “exaggerated” and “politically motivated.”
The hearings will begin January 7 in the Beloit Public Library.
