An ex-police chief was able to move between postings at Army bases despite allegations that he sexually harassed women at Fort Wainwright and that his behavior may have played a role in a coworker’s suicide at another base, according to Army documents.
A former police chief was able to move between postings at U.S.
An investigation at Fort McCoy, about 110 miles northwest of Madison, found that Cunningham often used slurs to refer to his officers and the hostile working environment may have contributed to the suicide of James Hamilton, the base’s former director of emergency services, who died in 2020. The investigation noted that it wasn’t conclusive that Cunningham’s behavior was a factor in Hamilton’s death.
Hamilton and Cunningham worked together for about six months at Fort McCoy before Cunningham left the base in January 2020 to become temporary police chief at another base, the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. He eventually became that base’s strategic planner, according to his LinkedIn page, although a base spokesperson said he no longer works there.Cunningham’s movement between bases raises questions about the Army’s ability to track sexual misconduct by civilian employees.
Fort McCoy spokesperson Tonya Townsell referred questions about Cunningham to the Civilian Resources Agency, which oversees civilian hiring at the base. Amy Stevens, a division chief with the resources agency, declined comment.
