Madison Suspends Police Chief,
Police Chief Paul D. Jakubson said in February that he intended to see his scandal-plagued department through its deeply seated troubles.
But the police commission Tuesday suspended the 34-year police veteran and announced an investigation of his conduct.
The commission's chairman said Jakubson, 58, disobeyed an order from the board to let the town attorney supervise the numerous internal-affairs investigations going on in the department and recently had launched a couple of investigations on his own.

Australia: Police ethics enqui
The police ethical standards command is overseeing an investigation into the death of a motorcyclist at Palmwoods on Friday.
The man, believed to be in his late 20s, died about 5.35pm when he lost control of his motorbike on Old Palmwoods Road and hit a concrete culvert.
It was the first fatality on the state’s roads for Easter and the only reported death as of last night.
Official reports said a police officer parked on Old Palmwoods Road saw the motorcycle allegedly travelling at speed before the crash.
The officer drove in the direction the motorbike was travelling and came across the crash scene.
Police stressed there was no pursuit involved.
They are yet to release the name of the deceased, who was travelling from Palmwoods towards Woombye when he came over the crest of a hill and left the road at the start of a left-hand bend.
He travelled about 25 metres after leaving the road before hitting the culvert.
When Cameron Rogers arrived on the scene, he found the police officer and a passer-by trying to resuscitate the man.
He said the impact had reduced the motorbike to a “complete mess”.
“He first crossed into a garden then tried to bring the bike back on to the road and hit the culvert,” Mr Rogers said.
“I’d say he’s gone over the handlebars or high-sided and gone over the tank.”
Mr Rogers had ridden a motorbike along the same stretch of road many times and described it as unnecessarily dangerous, particularly when it rained.
“I’ve almost lost it on that section of road, especially in the wet,” he said.
“They need to reduce the speed to 50kmh for that corner and have good warning signs within 50 to 100 metres of the corner.”
