What is “good policing?” What should you look for in a police leader? How is your city going to evaluate that leader? Perhaps one or more of the four major obstacles arresting police development is in existence? For more, follow my blog at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com. Those police officers who serve in a democracy are men and women who are highly-educated, well-trained, controlled in their use of force, honest, courteous to every person, and led by mature leaders. Is that your police? If not, find out what you can do about it.

Why do they feel the ned to bring in someone from out of town. What about the fill in chief who has been doing the job for months already? Is it maybe that she is a white female?

Aziz should not have made it to the finals soley due to his membership in a racially exclusive organization. Fayetteville is segregated enough without mess like this.

Qualifications or PC hire? See which prevails.

Thank goodness Medlock isn't part of any National White Police Association or he would never made it to the initial interview.

I agree with ftpc99, what does being black have to do with anything. I thought we were all equals? That is what they have wanted, so stop separating yourself from the whites, because it is racist when we do it!

Medlock is clearly more qualifed based on the info in the post. He maybe but he will not get the job, with all the past problems Faynam has had, you can guess who the manager will pick just to CYA.

I can't imagine what the purpose of a National Black Police Association is. Cops have to deal with racial issues all the time so you would think they wouldn't want to segregate themselves, from themselves. Kinda strange.

Medlock is clearly more qualifed based on the info in the post.

Based on the limited information in the article I think Mr. Aziz has the more impressive resume BUT it concerns me when anyone who pursues a career in public service elects to join/participate/climb the ranks of a racially oriented organization.
