The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation into the use of a house at Wyandotte County Lake by Kansas City, Kansas, Police Chief Terry Zeigler.
According to a news release from the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department, Chief Zeigler informed the Police Department members of this inquiry in an email.
The investigation centers on whether Chief Zeigler “double dipped” when he took time off to work on the house, according to the news release.
Chief Zeigler was offered the opportunity to live in the house by the Unified Government administration, and he had made an agreement with the UG administration to work on the house while living in it, with an amount being taken off the lease payments for work performed on the house.
According to today’s news release, Chief Zeigler felt it was best that the members of the Police Department learned of the investigation from him rather than through rumors.
Chief Zeigler will remain on regular working status during this investigation, following the department’s protocol, according to the Police Department.
