The City of Greenfield has appointed an acting police chief following the announcement that Police Chief Jay Johnson was placed on paid administrative leave.
The Greenfield Police and Fire Commission appointed Assistant Police Chief Eric Lindstrom to be the acting chief on April 30, according to meeting minutes.
Johnson was placed on leave April 25 pending a review of “workforce concerns,” according to the city.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has submitted open records requests to the city to obtain more information.
According to the city’s website, Lindstrom has been with the department since 2003. He has served as a field training officer, K-9 handler and SWAT team member, and is certified to instruct officers in several specialized enforcement areas.
He was promoted to patrol sergeant in 2015, detective sergeant in 2017, and later to captain and tactical commander, overseeing critical incident responses.
Since 2020, Lindstrom has also served as the team commander for the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team, leading investigations into officer-involved deaths.
