Joel Oltrogge – Cedar Falls Police Department

Written by CBKN76

On September 13, 2006, Officer Oltrogge was dismissed for misusing the department’s clothing allowance. He allegedly submitted receipts for items he planned to return, misleading the city about his use of the funds. Oltrogge appealed the termination, but the Cedar Falls Civil Service Commission upheld the decision, highlighting concerns about his credibility and the potential impact on the department’s reputation.
