Chief Morales was demoted to police captain for lying and not being truthful to the Milwaukee Fire & Police Commission.
Members of the Milwaukee Fire & Police Commission, both Nelson Soler and Ann Wilson before deciding to demote Chief Morales, indicated that he had accepted multiple conditions including transparency last December in order to get hired (renew his contract) and Morales said that he would work with the Commission by having an open door policy and would provide certain stats, but he failed to do so. The tear gas incidents against protesters were brought up too by Wilson.
Also, Morales was accused of making false statements multiple times and being dishonest. He also intentionally misled the public with some communication narratives that were false statements, which victimized the FPC, its staff, the executive director and the public.
Apparently, Morales lied to the Commission several times about his firing and hiring practices, lied about the COVID-19 outbreak at Police District 5 where at least 30 officers were infected and he called it a small outbreak and he also lied that the MPD had spent about $43,000 on cleaning the police academy where 12 police recruits were infected with COVID-19 and he failed to mention to the FPC that the federal government paid for it, in addition Morales had failed to investigate a police video leak to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for months, according to Commissioner Raymond Robakowski, who motioned to demote Chief Morales to captain.
At the end of the FPC meeting, Nelson Soler was elected unanimously as Chair of the FPC and Angela McKenzie was elected unanimously as Vice-Chair of the Commission.
Update: Captain Morales will retire, he signed his retirement documents one day after he was demoted and will most likely receive $8,719 per month, according to sources.
