On Monday, April 8, 2024, La Porte City Council confirmed the appointment of J. Scott Pullig as the next Chief of Police for the La Porte Police Department.
The following morning, Judge Denise Mitrano performed a swearing-in ceremony. Pullig was officially sworn in and proclaimed Chief. After starting with the agency in 1998, Pullig has risen through the ranks and served in multiple divisions and roles; making him well-prepared to take the reins.
With Chief Pullig vacating the position of Assistant Chief over the Department’s Support Services Command, he has appointed Lieutenant John Krueger to be the next Assistant Chief. Congratulations to both!
