I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader. After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After almost 30 years serving in and leading two Episcopal Churches in the Diocese of Milwaukee, I am "sort-of" in the process of retirement. Life is good.

It looks like this site may hold some promise to improve police and their leadership.
Improving Police: A Necessary Conversation 
I hope it is not short-live organization. I would like to see the police get more involved in fighting corporate crime and stop being a lackey for the corporations and wealthy people. I would also like to see them helping the working people and labor unions in fighting for better political, social, and economic rights and stop looking after their own self-interests in terms of better pay and benefits at the expense of the rest of the American people.
