Peace on Earth!
Published by improvingpolice
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. View all posts by improvingpolice

Dave, wonderful to see all those British Bobbies bringing Holiday cheer to their communities. Brings back fond memories. They are very good with their citizens and the citizens pay it back with cooperation and support for the community police effort. Holiday cheers to you and your family. Bill Mavity

Thanks, old friend. Been over 40 years since we first met at Minneapolis police recruit school under the tutelage of Insp. Bill Farrell — an educated, sensitive commander of which we found few… But it was a great start!
