“Improving Police:” Summarizing 2015

On this site during 2015 there were over 270,000 visits and more than 700 posts published.

The top five posts for 2015 were:

WHY POLICE MATTER.
MAKING CHOICES.
PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP.
HOW A TRAFFIC OFFENSE CAN BE A TICKET TO PRISON.
HAZING AND BULLYING IN THE POLICE ACADEMY.

I am looking forward to continuing the conversation on improving police, bringing about a truly democratic, non-militarized, trust, public-serving police and implementing the recommendations of the 21st Century 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. 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.
