Rob Abraham will be the top cop in the city of La Crosse, during a nationwide search for the next permanent police chief.

The city police and fire commission has appointed Assistant Chief Abraham to interim chief.

He’ll serve in that role starting July 24th, after Chief Ron Tischer leaves for a new job in Arizona.

Abraham was the interim chief in 2012, just after Chief Ed Kondracki retired and before Tischer came aboard.

Born in Decorah Iowa. I've been a news reporter for the last 10 years, starting right out of college in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Other professional opportunities led me to Marshalltown, Iowa and Antigo Wisconsin, before I finally was afforded the opportunity here in La Crosse. I've been here since 2016. I also act as the voice of local sports, doing play by play of high school and college football and basketball. When not working I enjoy golfing.
