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. View all posts by David Couper

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!
