Where's the diversity amongst these candidates?

Diversity takes a back seat when qualifications are needed. In this case the most qualified don't fit the usual mold. Cassey Brown is the career winner. It works both ways.

Deck-Brown is the best choice. The guy from Richmond would be a disaster.

I met the interum chief recently and was very impressed. She is not flashy, she is just sincere and good.

"I know of at least one current chief from an NC agency that for some reason was weeded out. His officers work hard for him and he has the support of many, many folks." RPD07

He probably did not supervise enough people. I heard a rumor that they added a qualification that the person must have supervised some really high number of people, which eliminated anyone from RPD from applying except Deck-Brown (because she was Asst. Chief and acting Chief). I don't know if it is true - just what I heard. Maybe somebody else knows for sure.

Hire the one with the most experience in all facets of police work and not someone that has limited experience in certain areas of police work.

You know. I was going to comment on this but...why bother? All three said the exact same thing in the same generic terms. Good luck RPD, you may need it.

RPD 07,

The story might be jucier for Ms Lamb when it's too late for us. History has a way of repeating itself. I just hope the citizens voice their opinions and see that someone with intimate knowledge of the city should always supersede some who came here for a weekend.
