FIRST REPORT: Dayton chief could face discipline for stolen gun
Biehl was issued a written reprimand and will have to reimburse the city $469 for the cost of the weapon.
“Chief Biehl has accepted responsibility for this incident and has remained professional throughout the entire investigation,” said City Manager Dickstein in a prepared statement. “I believe his proven track record of leadership and innovative policing strategies has made the Dayton community a safer place. My confidence in him as the head of the Dayton Police Department has not wavered.”
Biehl said he takes full responsibility for not adequately securing his gun. “Necessary action will be taken in the near future to provide a means to better secure firearms in city issued vehicles,” he said.
The Dayton Daily News and News Center 7 first reported the gun’s theft Aug. 14 after inquiring with police officials the previous week when the newsroom received a tip about the theft.
