Greenfield's police chief has been placed on paid administrative leave pending a review of workplace concerns, and the city's Police and Fire Commission will be appointing an acting police chief, according to the city.

Chief Jay Johnson was placed on leave April 25, Greenfield Mayor Michael Neitzke said in an April 30 statement issued by the city in response to media inquiries.

Neitzke said the city is conducting an "independent review of recent workplace concerns."

“Our priority is to ensure a thorough, fair process and to maintain the continued safety and effective service of the Greenfield Police Department for our community,” Neitzke said in the statement.

When contacted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Neitzke said he had no further information to share.

The city scheduled a special Police and Fire Commission meeting for 6 p.m. April 30 to discuss the appointment of an acting police chief, according to the agenda.

Inquiries to the Greenfield Police and Fire Commission were not immediately returned.

He was promoted to sergeant in 2001, lieutenant in 2008 and captain in 2012.
