I have been writing and commenting on police matters since 2011 after I retired from a 33 year career in the field of municipal policing.

Since that time, I have posted over 1500 blogs and they have been viewed over 500,000 times. 

During those years, the following blogs have been visited the most frequently over the decade:

  1. What is Modern, 21st Century Policing?
  2. Making Choices: The Moral Aspects of Policing.
  3. Principles of Policing (1829).
  4. Hazing and Bullying in the Police Academy.
  5. Why Police Matter.
  6. Rules of Engagement.
  7. Oh, Minneapolis, What’s Become of You?

Check them out. There’s some learning here and in the book below as well.

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.
