128k a year will buy a whole lot of BC Headache powder. I tell ya what.

I prefer Goody's myself.

It’s a position 99% of a department doesn’t want. Heck, being the police is a job 99% of the population doesn’t want. Departments are just about having to hire anyone who can pass a background check.

And some that can't. We have had a couple recruits in recent years that were felons but were hired anyway. Thankfully they were released in the academy and were never sworn in.

Sounds almost as bad as what just happened at my local PD.

What happened?

Since they are withholding the name of the new chief, I suspect it is a selection that many will not be happy about.

I'll go out on a limb... it won't be @BehindBlueI's

Chris Bailey took himself out of the running. Kendale Adams?

Called it, though certainly not the only one to figure that's the way it was going to go that way. It was just typical business/politic negotiation sort of stuff. It was obvious the mayor wanted him in the role and equally obvious he wanted it, so there was some sticking point they had to work through. What that sticking point was, well the rumor mill had some guesses, but since I don't know the veracity of any of them I'll not weigh in on that.

Palace intrigue at the IMPD HQ.

No shock really. Actually I’m surprised it took this long since after he returned from Ashville he went right back to his previous rank.

I don't know I'd deem it 'intrique' as much as the normal things people want and negotiate over for a job they are courted for. Money, self-determination, etc. Chief spot is a tough one in that your nominally in charge but actually second in command at the leisure of the mayor. Then combine all the concerns of law enforcement with all the concerns of a politician...I'm glad someone wants it.

But intrigue sounds less mundane than negotiation.
