The city manager fired Teresa Theetge.

The Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police called Theetge’s firing a “poor decision.”
Mayor Aftab Pureval said he “fully” supports City Manager Sheryl Long’s decision to dismiss the chief.
Theetge has 10 days to appeal.
She has been with the department for more than 35 years.
