The challenging party's platform called for the resignation of the Chief of Police for the mismanagement of the Department. Shortly after the election, in which the incumbents won by a 2 - 1 margin, the focus of an investigation into the challenging mayoral candidate's homeowner's association's financial records shifted. The candidate, who initiated the investigation, became the target of the investigation. A short time later, the candidate was indicted for felony theft. We applaud the investigator who was able to put together the case against the candidate.
Financial crimes are difficult to investigate and often difficult to prosecute.
The investigator did a great job. Truly, in this case, a guilty person was convicted. But, as all law enforcement personnel have heard, there's always another angle to this story. Most of us would love such a schedule. In fact, I am certain the police department's administration, knowing the officer intended to retire in June, would tell us they moved him so he could adjust to a non-police officer schedule to prepare for life after being a cop.
