Sheboygan Police Department
A Sheboygan Police Lieutenant may be out of a job following a series of hearings this week.
In a hearing earlier this week, Assistant Police Chief Douglas Teunissen accused Lt. Bill Adams of being defiant and working against the department. That stems from when Adams allegedly disliked an office he was given following the department’s renovations.
The second charge stems from allegations that Lt. Adams used the department’s city-owned computer to work on his personal business, including a court case he had with the city.
Adams has had a tenuous few years with the department, beginning with a suit he filed in 2024 against the Police and Fire Commission after he was removed from consideration of the position of Police Chief. Last year, he was suspended without pay, but reinstated following a court battle. Adams said that when he returned to the department he was tasked with special projects rather than being assigned typical lieutenant duties.
Lt. Adam’s future with the Sheboygan Police Department could be decided by the end of the week.
