Sedgwick has fired its police chief for cause, city officials said.

City Administrator Joe Turner said Police Chief Larry Alexander was terminated Wednesday after a Monday meeting at which the city council reviewed a 64-page report in an executive session. Turner made the announcement in a statement posted to the city’s Facebook page Friday.

Turner said Alexander was terminated “for cause” but declined to provide additional details, calling the termination a personnel matter.
