After police body camera footage showed an officer releasing his K9 onto a man during a traffic stop, some community members in Circleville are calling for more to be done. In just the past few weeks, the police chief escorted from office, the city's safety director fired after only a week on the job and now we've learned the city's acting chief has been place on leave. He's under investigation for misconduct.
A week later, safety director Steven Wilkinson, who had been hired to clean up the department, was fired a week into the post. Now ABC 6 has gotten word that acting police chief Doug Davis has been placed on leave. He's in the process of being investigated for misconduct. On March 25, Acting Chief Doug Davis was placed on paid administrative leave from the Circleville Police Department due to an investigation into alleged employee misconduct. In the meantime, the Circleville Police Department is in the capable hands of experienced leaders within the agency. The city took this action in order to protect the integrity of the department while the investigation is ongoing.
