An investigation into allegations made about the city of Ringgold, Georgia, its police department and its city manager will happen after all.
The city council unanimously passed a proclamation Monday night to begin an investigation into the concerns raised for two months, starting when former police chief Dan Bilbrey publicly resigned.
Bilbrey gave a passionate speech in January about how his department is underfunded, overlooked and how morale with his employees was consistently low.
A week later, Bilbrey told the Times Free Press that Ringgold’s city manager, Dan Wright, put a tracking device on his car without his knowledge. Wright declined to comment on the allegation.
Local attorney McCracken Poston said during the Feb. 10 council meeting that several city employees had reached out to him and told him things that would warrant an investigation.
