IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — One of three veteran Iowa State Patrol officials who were on leave during an internal investigation has been transferred to a new job.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says Maj. Todd Misel is no longer in charge of field operations for the patrol.
Instead, he has been moved into a position in the commissioner’s office overseeing the department’s compliance with national law enforcement accreditation standards.
Misel and two other patrol officials were placed on paid leave in April while the department investigated whether they mishandled a state contract to purchase handguns.
The department announced earlier this month they had returned to work without discipline. The department has refused to release the findings of multiple investigations but says the three didn’t commit any crimes or violate any policies.
