Good work here by police officers in Kalamazoo, Mich. under the leadership of Capt. Jim Mallery who will be one of the presenters at our Midwest Conference on 21st Century Policing on Oct 7th at the University of Wisconsin branch in Platteville along with Sue Rahr, director of police training in Washington state and a member of the President’s Task Force on Policing.
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 calling for police improvement (for example, How To Rate Your Local Police, and with my wife, Sabine, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience). After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve a small church in North Lake (WI), east of Madison. Sabine and I have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also a retired police officer and we both continue active lives.
