9NEWS: The former police chief of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) was fired for a series of ethical violations, according to a termination letter obtained Tuesday by 9NEWS.
Joel Fitzgerald, who had been on leave since early July, was “terminated for cause” on Sept. 26, according to Colorado’s Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) database.
However, RTD refused to say whether he was fired when asked, only that he was “no longer the chief of police.” They did not give information about the circumstances surrounding his departure, including whether he resigned or was fired.
