“Both of the police departments operating on and around Yale’s campus are without permanent leadership after the sudden resignation of New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson on Monday. Jacobson resigned after being confronted with allegations that he appropriated city funds for personal use, Mayor Justin Elicker announced at a press conference …. According to Elicker, other officers ‘flagged irregularities’ with Jacobson’s use of a fund meant to support the police department’s confidential informant program. On Monday morning, assistant chiefs David Zannelli, Bertram Ettienne and Manmeet Bhagtana confronted Jacobson in his office at the police station, Elicker said. Following the confrontation, Jacobson ‘admitted to taking the funds for personal use’ and resigned, Elicker said.” (01/05/26)
