If it's a law enforcement matter go to the state police.

If you have evidence of corruption you're first place to start is the Mayor's office. If you don't get anywhere there, the district attorney would be where the mayor would follow up. If all else fails, document your evidence and present it at the next city council meeting.
All city councils have time on the agenda for public presentations of any kind. Almost every town or city has a reporter from one or two local papers there to get the first word on what's happening.
If all else fails and no one listens, you could always go to the nearest FBI office.

Everyone has a boss. The Police Chief may answer to a City Manager or Mayor or City Council. I would probably contact a Council member first.

You should really have your ducks in line before making such an accuasation. I mean, those guys are extremely well connected, no matter how large or small the department.
Solicit the help on an investigative reporter, do not just cold call the paper up and say I got this on the chief of police.
Good luck if it's true.

The county sheriff, he is the head law enforcement officer in most counties, he would have the power to investigate a police chief.
Also the state attorney general, who can have state police investigate.
You can also have the city counsel and/or mayor, but they can not do a criminal investigation, merley an administrative one.

Government Corruption at that level would best be handled by your State Attorney's Office. If you suspect that they might also be corrupt, the nearest US Attorney's Office/Departmenf of Justice can point you in the right direction (normally the FBI)

If you have enough clout to sink the ship, Sink it. I doubt you do. On the other hand don't rock the boat. It will get you and your family hurt. What you are talking about is not a rare occurrence. Do you want to make a statement? If you do, it most likely will be your last. The trouble is that if you go to another city official, they will most likely be on the take also.
If not, they will be afraid of loosing their jobs or worse if they support your cause. You are sorta **** out of luck.

You go to a lawyer. You should not talk to anyone about this because they might deny it or support your chief. Make sure you have gathered enough information to at be suspicious and hand it to someone who, much like a lawyer will create a case and investigate...Good luck and be very careful.
