As we approach the end of 2015, I am re-posting the TEN most popular posts during the year — “WHY POLICE MATTER” was the most visited post this year. Last year it was #4.
Some other stats:
The 4th full year this blog has been published.
Overall 250,000 visits.
Number of visits this year was 128,000; more than two times the previous year (2014).
700 posts on this site covering a wide range of topics of interest to both police professionals and community leaders.
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 25 years leading two Episcopal Churches in Portage and North Lake, Wisconsin, I now serve as Associate Pastor in a growing, dynamic, and Spirit-filled Lutheran congregation in nearby Mazomanie.
