KSTP reports the City Council voted 4-1 in favor of suspending Sean Rifenberick. This follows allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against the chief last summer. In February, a handful of employees told the council Rifenberick was unfit to lead. City leaders agreed to review his performance.

The city of Virginia has finally reached an agreement with its police chief Dana Waldron, after a third negotiation the city had with him in an effort to get him to leave. Grievances were filed against him in late 2010 over his management of the department and relationships with city employees and administration.

Allegations of sexual harassment and a lawsuit against the city's chief of police have divided the department, KSTP says, and several officers went before the City Council to say their boss is unfit for the job. City leaders say they'll review the case.

John Harrington, a former St. Paul police chief who retired after just one two-year stint as a DFL state senator, will become the new chief of police that enforces the law on Metro Transit buses, light rail and commuter rail. He'll oversee law enforcement on a rapidly growing network of light rail and bus transit in the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has formally nominated Janeé Harteau to step into the shoes of Tim Dolan after he retires. She would be the first woman to serve as the city's police chief.

The Metropolitan Council is getting closer to finding a new Metro Transit police chief. A.J. Olson has been serving as acting chief since former police chief David Indrehus retired several months ago. The Metropolitan Council said screenings and oral exams have been completed.
