Many in this community expect complete accountability from the police department. I am one of them.
Interim Police Chief Pete Kerns is off to an excellent start in solving problems regarding the perception and practices of the department. If he is hired as the permanent chief he will have the chance to build on that progress.
Choosing a different candidate for police chief will be a huge setback because we have made some improvements on extremely complicated issues. Kerns works well with our police auditor, who I believe is also doing an outstanding job.
If you value moving forward to correct any and all ongoing problems in the department, please let our mayor and city manager know as soon as possible that you support hiring Pete Kerns as our permanent chief. Our community simply cannot afford to move backward on this issue at this time.
