A Paulding County city’s police chief resigned while he and the department were under investigation.
Hiram police Chief Todd Vande Zande offered his resignation before a city council meeting Jan. 30, the city said Tuesday in a statement.
Vande Zande made his resignation effective April 16.
The investigation that began in 2017 involved alleged employee morale issues and employee turnover within the police department, the city said.
Southern Professional Investigations reported at the Jan. 30 meeting that no violations of state, federal or local ordinaces were discoverd.
A final report has yet to be submitted to city council members for consideration.
