Timed it right. Diminished capacity until eligible for full retirement. Next time put DEI at the bottom of the list.
Pacific Grove Police Chief Cathy Madalone — who has been on paid leave for months following a mysterious injury — announced today that she’s retiring on Oct. 12, after only five years in the role.
Madalone has faced criticism from residents for failing to disclose how she was injured, the nature of her injuries and why she was apparently able to work from home and not in the police department on Pine Street. She did not address her injury in today’s retirement message, either.
While several sources told The Pine Cone that Madalone was hurt in a golf cart mishap during an August 2023 car event in P.G., she never confirmed or denied it.
