KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Kissimmee police Deputy Chief Wilson Munoz has been placed on leave due to an investigation, according to a city spokesperson.
Munoz, the subject of the investigation, is on administrative leave with pay as a result, the spokesperson confirmed.
The Kissimmee Police Department has spent 2025 recovering from a scandal that rocked the agency in 2023.
The scandal surfaced after body-camera footage revealed a series of alleged lies by officers involved in a 2023 use-of-force case centered on Officer Andrew Baseggio. This prompted a joint investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office, resulting in the arrest of Baseggio, the dismissal of several other officers, and the resignation of Chief Betty Holland and Deputy Chief Camille Alicea.
In a statement Friday, Kissimmee police Chief Charles Broadway said the investigation into Munoz is “the final disciplinary matter related to the Andrew Baseggio case.”
As Chief of Police, I reaffirm our department’s commitment to accountability, integrity, and transparency. Deputy Chief Wilson Munoz is currently the subject of an internal investigation, the final disciplinary matter related to the Andrew Bassegio case. This is the last step in that investigation.
While the internal investigation is ongoing, we are limited in what we can disclose. However, once the process is complete, the results will be made available in accordance with applicable laws and policies. Deputy Chief Munoz has been placed on administrative leave with pay for the duration of this investigation.
We remain focused on strengthening our department, serving with honor and professionalism, and moving forward with purpose.

No other further details had been shared or confirmed at the time of this writing.
An independent investigation of the police department which was released earlier this year contains a section titled, “Concerns About Deputy Chief Wilson Munoz,” in which Munoz is described as having acted questionably in light of the Baseggio case.
During this administrative investigation, we recognized concerns about Deputy Chief Munoz that demonstrated a lapse in judgement or leadership but did not meet the threshold of misconduct or violations of the Kissimmee Police Department’s written directives.
Deputy Chief Munoz admitted the agency “probably should have” conducted a criminal investigation into Officer Baseggio’s actions but joined Chief Holland and Deputy Chief Alicea in their collective decision to forgo it—a mistake of the basic principle that administrative investigations must not precede criminal investigations. Although this decision exposed the agency to public and legal scrutiny, it did not explicitly violate any written directive of the agency.
Furthermore, Deputy Chief Munoz admittedly did not seek guidance from subject matter experts, legal advisors, or the State Attorney’s Office during the early stages of the incident review process and knew no one else in the agency consulted those appropriate entities to evaluate the incident. Nevertheless, this failure was not a violation of any of the agency’s written directives. Additionally, at the early stages of this incident, his supervisor, Chief Holland, was aware of the listed standard of conduct on the INOI and the circumstances of the allegations but took no action to amend the INOI before it was submitted to Internal Affairs.
Moreover, although Kissimmee Police Department written directives allowed him to amend the findings of the Internal Affairs investigation and the recommended discipline, his failure to do so did not constitute a violation of any agency written directives. Although Chief Holland, the only other person authorized to amend Internal Affairs’ findings, by all accounts, was not aware of the discipline imposed, she was aware of the allegation listed on the INOI yet took no effort to amend it at the early stages of the investigation. This inferred an agreement with the proposed allegation and, therefore, it was concluded that Deputy Chief Munoz’s actions, although questionable, did not rise to the level of an overt violation of agency written directives.
