Town of Mukwonago Police Commission to address charges against chief, sergeant

Town of Mukwonago - The Police Commission will hold a hearing and a special meeting on preliminary consideration of possible charges against Police Chief Tom Czarnecki and Police Sgt. Eric Schmidt at 7 p.m. Dec. 19.

The agenda states the charges have been filed by Officer Chris Heckman.

Moreover, there will be preliminary consideration of an appeal of discipline imposed by Czarnecki against Heckman.

The agenda says that all parties will be allowed to present oral arguments to supplement their respective positions at the meeting.

A motion could be made to go into closed session to deliberate the possible charges, the agenda states.

Town Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Karalewitz said those involved with this case will not comment until next week's meeting.

The meeting takes place at Town Hall, W320 S8315 Belulah Road.

Further information was not available.

  1. Sounds like the old City of Pewaukee. If the officer is disaplined by a supervisor and the supervisor is backed by the chief, well the the bad cop trys to turn the table making the supervisor and chief out to be the problem and files a complaint against them. This nonsense has to stop. These boards, councils & mayors have to quit listening to these crybaby cops and let the chief do his/her job.
  2. At least if fill ups those column inches in our dead tree.
  3. Like Pewaukee it might be a good time to reflect on whether town needs a police department. Sheriff's Dept could cover with no costs at all or even look at a small Sheriff contract to handle municipal type violations similar to what Town of Delafield does. Times of affording a department like this are gone.
  4. Neither the Town of Vernon nor the Town of Eagle has a police department. The sheriff department does their policing at no cost to the taxpayers of those towns.
  5. Those of you who think you can go without law enforcement in your area are sadly mistaken....contract or keep your local police but do not go with out. Take a look at the activity and data on calls and activity in the Town and youll understand why. Contracting assures you will have an assigned squad to the township on all shifts. In this day and age those municipalities going without law enforcement are just plain stupid.....
