MADISON - A 34-year law
enforcement veteran is taking over as chief of the state
Capitol police force.
Charles Tubbs was named
Tuesday as the new chief of the police force by state
Department of Administration Secretary Michael Morgan. He
will start the new position around Sept. 1.
Tubbs takes over for David
Heinle who retired last fall.

his predecessor.
