(The Center Square)– Madison’s independent police monitor says she is not bound by city regulations following a critical employment review.
Madison issued a 42-page employment review for Aeiramique Glass, Madison’s interim independent police monitor.last week. The critical review claims Glass likely broke the law several times.
The review accuses Glass of turning her budget requests in late and refusing to participate in mandatory budgeting sessions. It also questions how Glass is spending money in her office.
Specifically, the review said Glass has not turned over a contract with the outside lawyer she hired to deal with her legal battle between her office and Madison’s city attorney.
The review also acknowledges complaints of Glass’ stalking or coercive behaviors.
Glass told Madison officials that she isn’t bound by city regulations or the review.
"We do not have to comply with [Administrative Procedure Memoranda] other than what we do in good faith when I feel comfortable doing so," Glass wrote in an email to City Attorney Michael Haas. "We will not be giving you any of our contractors' information prior to the completion of any investigation."
Glass has been at the center of several questions in Madison for months.
She was brought in to help hire a new independent police monitor, but the review found that she has done “no meaningful recruitment” on that front since she began in late 2026.
Her original contract expected her to hire a new independent police monitor by June of this year, though her contract has now been extended into early 2027.
Glass is also at the center of questions about her views on the police.
Glass spent some of the early days after Madison’s most recent police shooting appearing to encourage protesters. She was caught on video saying to “burn the city down.”
