I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader calling for police improvement (for example, How To Rate Your Local Police, and with my wife, Sabine, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience). After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve a small church in North Lake (WI), east of Madison. Sabine and I have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also a retired police officer and we both continue active lives.

This is written from the heart and soul of an officer who understands and acts with the honor and integrity of doing his job.
We all want to honor and respect our police and the courage they show daily.
But it is a sad and horrific day when
you have experienced firsthand
corruption as you just ask for justice
for your child who was brutally murdered.
When the perjury, obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, withholding of evidence and blatant
ridicule by police is in your face,
you are now a Mother who’s living
nightmare has deepened and beaten you down to the core.
I will continue my fight for justice despite the evil police that I am encountering and pray for justice to be served.
The Immunity laws must be reformed now. They are being abused and used to protect the police who choose corruption over
crime fighting.
Please sign my petition on Change.org and share. Justice for Joseph Miranda.
We must end the corruption and cover up that is at the core of law enforcement across our country. So many have lived this horrendous injustice and torment as they plead for justice for their loved ones. We must have CHANGE now that is long overdue. Thank you

We must unite to bring transparency and truth.
