## Resource

Reading’s police chief faced scrutiny after allegedly using a state database to look up his brother’s personal info — a clear violation of law meant for official use only — claiming it was for medical reasons. Though prosecutors declined to press charges, citing his impending retirement, the chief was placed on administrative leave. His 26-year tenure was marred by internal turmoil, including officer resignations and a toxic work environment. With retirement looming in August, the city is already eyeing a new chief from within the lieutenant ranks — a case that underscores the fragile balance between accountability, policy, and the realities of leadership under pressure.
