Algoma has a new police chief, but he may already be a familiar face. The City of Algoma announced Tyler Tuttle as its new police chief Monday after he was sworn in during a special ceremony.

Born and raised in Luxemburg, Tuttle began his law enforcement career with the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department and has also served as a part-time officer with the Algoma Police Department. Tuttle's first patrol assignment was with the City of Algoma, and he said he is excited to serve a community that has given him so much alongside the people who have mentored him throughout his career.

Tuttle replaces David Allen, who retired earlier this year after serving as police chief following the retirement of Randy Remiker in 2023. Tuttle said he hopes to serve as police chief for many years while keeping the department engaged with the community and up to date on the latest technology and policing methods.
