Police Chief Who Told Criminals To 'Learn How To Behave' Placed On Administrative Leave

Posted • October 20, 2025: Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge made a minor splash last week on social media after two people were shot in Fountain Square downtown. Theetge told a local TV station that people need to "learn how to behave" in her city, especially downtown. Vice President J.D. Vance's half-brother, who is running for mayor, posted the clip. —— Cory Bowman @corymbowman: “Cincinnati Police Chief Theetge’s message after two shooting victims in Fountain Square on Monday night: “Learn how to behave in our city.” No. City Hall needs to learn how to manage our city.” —— That lady needs to resign. Stop putting people like this in charge of police departments. It’s embarrassing. Where do they find these embarrassing women from? That's what will keep our city safe. A good scolding.

Now we're hearing from WLWT that Theetge has been placed on paid administrative leave. https://www.wlwt.com/article/cincinnati-police-chief-terri-theetge-administrative-leave/69099688 (…)
