Tony Bouza

Anthony V. (Tony) Bouza is a retired police officer who served in the New York City Police Department from 1953 to 1957.

At the NYPD, he initially served as a detective in the undercover unit, the Bureau of Special Services and Investigation (BOSSI) rising to the rank of Assistant Chief and Commander of the Bronx.

He was brought to Minneapolis by Mayor Donald Fraser, who when newly elected in 1980, wanted an outsider and a reformer to head the department following a series of scandals under his predecessor.

He retained Bouza for a total of three three-year terms: Tony served as police chief of the Minneapolis Police Department from 1980 to 1989. Since retiring from policing, Tony Bouza has testified for the defense in many trials across the country alleging police mistreatment.

Tony is also the author of numerous books, some of which he highly recommends for those with insomnia. IMDb Mini Biography By: Chris Braudy
