Leland ran an ad for police chief several months ago. Then they abruptly removed the ad without warning; no deadline was ever given during the short period Leland ran the ad. And the LPD website lists Chief James as an interim police chief. My question is what is the town planning to do long term for a new police chief? Why did the town remove the ad without notice? I think the town needs new blood as in someone from somewhere else with absolutely no ties to anyone in the PD to give their PD a fresh new start. The city manager should advertise the position again and then move forward with the hiring a new professional permanent police chief. He should do this the right way via a fair objective open process. And yes, I'd love to apply!
