Episode notes

Dalton J. Smith (attorney who was part of the legal team representing Shawnee Township Fire Chief Austin Miller during last year’s proceedings) joins us to discuss the current situation. In this conversation we cover what can be shared publicly about the ongoing investigation and suspension of Fire Chief Austin Miller, where things stand in the process, what may come next, timelines, public disclosure rules, and much more.

Important note: This interview presents one side of the story from Chief Miller’s legal perspective. There are multiple sides to these matters - please don’t jump to conclusions. Ask questions, seek information from multiple sources, and support stability for our township and fire department. If representatives from the township or other involved parties would like to share their perspective, the invitation is always open.
