“To stay in place is to fall behind!”
Today’s post celebrates the 5th year since “Improving Police” has been launched into cyberspace. During those five years there have been 900 posts written on a variety of subjects that are relevant to both police and community leaders. There are now over 2,300 followers, and the site has logged nearly 400,00 visits from police and citizens in over 130 countries.
I want to thank my followers as well as those of you who occasionally visit. This blog is dedicated to helping police improve and the best way to do that is to ask and listen to those whom you serve. Continuous improvement is not only possible, but absolutely necessary in today’s world.
Simply put, to stay in place is to fall behind. Here’s to good 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. 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 Black Earth. After losing Sabine, my wife of 40 years to cancer, I met Christine, a retired nurse and widow. We were blessed to find love again and married in 2021.
