Osseo reprimands its police chief
The Osseo City Council went into a two-hour closed-door session Monday night to consider discipline of a city employee. That employee turned out to be the city's police chief.After the closed-door session, the city council re-emerged to continue the public meeting by voting to approve a written warning against Chief Timothy Ryan for what the council called "inappropriate language." The chief was also given a verbal warning for violating gift laws.No details were given at the meeting on what led to the warnings. Calls to the mayor and city administrator seeking comment were not returned as this article was published Tuesday afternoon.Ryan had previously served as police chief in Millville, Mass., a small rural town similar in size to Osseo. He served as Millville police chief for nearly 20 years, but resigned after the Millville town board suspended him due to differences stemming from how he did his job.The Osseo City Council appointed Ryan as police chief in May. At the time of his hire, Mayor John Hall says the city of Osseo did extensive background checks on Ryan and he passed them all.

A very dear friend of mine (RIP)had a saying that I will never forget...
"You can't polish a turd"
How appropriate...
I don't have many details on this but my guess is it involved the opposite sex...he's been there 5 months and has already been reprimanded...hard to believe
It's just a matter of time before we see a UHaul with Minnesota plates on it pull into town...lucky us
If Mayor Hall did an extensive background check and didn't find anything, maybe it's time for a new mayor
I stand corrected...it was 3 months into the job...nice
Why don't you just leave this crap alone? Can't you get over Tim Ryan? You are just like the turd maker down the street. Everything you involve yourself with is negative. You are a poor specimen. Leave the poor bastard alone. He has been through enough with the loss of his parents, and his job locally.
Your an idiot.
Wow...what an awesome, positive comment...and so well thought out...
Just so I'm clear on this...you're taking a shot at a husband/father that has passed away and I'm the "poor specimen" ?...you people are a treat I'll give you that...
The best part of this is it appears many were wrong in their assessment of the old chief but can't admit it...
MJB has the blog almost back...he has PT trouble shooting...I'm sure between them both they'll figure it out....
It also appears you need to register to post a comment...sounds like it's going to be a one sided point of view...so actually nothing much has changed...it just saves MJB the step of deleting dissenting opinions..
August 24- After the council met, it voted to discipline Police Chief Tim Ryan with a written reprimand for inappropriate use of sexually explicit language or slang and inappropriate language to and about subordinates and to and about the public; and a verbal reprimand for violating the Minnesota Gift Law and an order to return a t-shirt.
November 23-Chief's probation extended 6 more months....
So what is the real deal with Mr. Ryan? There has been a lot going on here in Osseo that is concerning to us citizens. Can anyone shed a little light on the subject about what happened out there in Millville that prompted him to come to Minnesota?? Too much time and energy being spent on one person if you ask me.

When googling, use combinations of search terms including tim ryan, timothy ryan, millville, police, etc.
To: Concerned in Osseo>
please Google several phrases such as "timothy ryan millville" and "ryan police millville" and "tim ryan millville". You will find your answers. Especially, dig deep into the "masscop" website and threads of postings. You can also search directly for "masscop" and you should find their main site easily, then search for millville.
Ryan quote "resigned" unquote. His brother, who he had on his police force, also was expelled. One more office also. The State Police had to come in and take over the department.

I saw the Chief a couple of weeks ago on JAN 17TH, kissing on his girlfriend at the Casino. It was if he meant to put on a show for the public . Self esteem issues..?
