Chief of Police Steven Singer suffered a fatal heart attack after several subjects fled from him near the dam at Lake Lafayette.

On April 7, 2024 at shortly before 6:00 pm, Chief Singer had responded to the dam for reports of people trespassing and driving utility task vehicles (UTV) in the area. As he arrived at the scene, the subjects fled from him on the UTVs. He searched the area for the subjects before clearing the call. He returned home at the end of his shift, where he suffered a fatal heart attack overnight.

Chief Singer had served with the Lake Lafayette Police Department for 20 years. He also served concurrently in a part-time capacity with the Lafayette County Sheriff's Office for 16 years. He was also employed as the Lafayette County Deputy Assessor for the past 8 years. He is survived by his fiancée, five children, granddaughter, parents, and siblings.
