Tod Kamleiter Named New Flossmoor Police Chief

FLOSSMOOR, IL — The village of Flossmoor has named its next police chief. It's Tod Kamleiter, the former deputy police chief in the village. Kamleiter, who was deputy chief for six years, officially started in the new role on Monday, filling a five-month vacancy left by the retiring Police Chief Mike Pulec.

Kamleiter, an Air Force veteran who served a combined nine years on active duty and active reserved, has been a police officer in Flossmoor since 1996. He previously worked for the Indiana Department of Corrections.

“My entire career has been geared toward the goal of one day leading the police department,” Kamleiter said. “I have been very fortunate to have been mentored by some outstanding leaders in the department and the village administration during this time. These relationships and professional connections will be a true asset to my new role as the Chief of Police.

"The village of Flossmoor and its residents are very important to me and I’m humbled that the mayor and board of trustees have chosen me to carry out their vision for the Police Department’s service to the community.”

Flossmoor Mayor Paul Braun called Kamleiter a proven asset to the village.

“(Kamleiter has) left myself and the village trustees with little question that he would be the right fit as the next Chief of Police,” Braun said.
