I want to thank all of you who continue to visit this blog and, hopefully, find new and better ways to police a free society and new ways to think about the police function.
So far, since the inauguration of this blogsite in 2011, there have been over one-half million views to the 1300+ items I have posted here. This encourages me and keeps me (even in semi-retirement) putting items and ideas up for your consideration.
But number of views is not the most amazing statistic. That has to go to the where my viewers come from!
In addition to the United States and Canada (which are number one and two) — viewers come from 204 countries around the world!
Here are the top 20 in addition to the U.S. and Canada:
United Kingdom
Australia
India
Phillippines
Taiwan
South Africa
Malasia
Germany
Pakistan
Singapore
European Union
Kenya
Hong Kong and China
Turkey
France
Jamaica
United Arab Emirates
Nigeria
New Zealand
Again, thanks to all you inquiring souls as we, together, seek to improve 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. 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.
