Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is on paid leave pending an investigation into the effectiveness of her leadership. The investigation could take months.

The city of Cincinnati has hired law firm Frost Brown Todd to conduct the investigation surrounding Police Chief Teresa Theetge’s leadership.

He also responded to allegations he vetoed several of the chief's proposals to curb crime and that the upcoming election played a part in the decision.

Members of Cincinnati City Council say they're eager for a quick resolution to upheaval at the Cincinnati Police Department.

Stephen Imm of Finney Law Firm says he believes the city manager asked Teresa Theetge to resign at the request of Mayor Aftab Pureval. The mayor says he did not direct the decision.

City Manager Sheryl Long announced the decision Monday evening, five days after reports she asked Chief Theetge to resign.

Labor and employment attorney Stephen Imm told WVXU he is representing Teresa Theetge. The police chief has been asked to resign by City Manager Sheryl Long, according to sources.

However, City Manager Sheryl Long says no employment change has been made regarding leadership of the Police Department.

An agreement between Cincinnati and the Ohio Department of Public Safety will allow Ohio State Troopers to patrol areas in the city beyond state highways. In addition, the state will provide aviation law enforcement tools and special state investigators.

The plan would allocate $4.63 million for police officer overtime and recruitment efforts, plus technology like drones, license plate readers, and more public cameras.
