: : : Choose someone that DOESN'T live in Jerse City! SOmeone that isn't one of
Healy's
: : "friends" that can be "trusted"
: : : Do a nationwide search, and hire the best guy or gal for the job.
: : : And do some due diligence so we don;t end up hiring another drunk!
: : :
: : : : : : Mr. Mayor, you can begin to correct things by getting rid of that idiot you
have
: : as your chief of staff. Begin to surround yourself with true professionals. How
many
: : family members did Carl hire? This is something that the people of Jersey City will
: : not forget.
: : : : My suggestion is to appoint a new police chief that LIVES IN JERSEY CITY!!!!!
That
: : should be part of the criteria. If you live here, pay taxes here, have raised or are
: : cuurently raising kids here, you will be more active here. And that's the truth.
And
: : it should be someone that doesn't hang out in bars. Someone that can be
: : respected. I'm sure someone will always have something to say, but please
choose
: : someone that LIVES IN JERSEY CITY. PLEASE!
: : ;;Respectfully disagree. Many big cities have gone outside their departments to
pick
: : a chief. Can the director position, advertise for a professional police chief who
will
: : come to the job with a clean slate, no grudges or owed favors and get the job
done.
: : LA, NYC, Phila., and many others have done it. We will never have a great PD if
we
: : continue promoting the same homegrown hacks. The chief's chief of staff
oversaw
: : this failed administration and is now being considered for the top spot. Hello!
:
: Just because anyone is hired outside the city or county doesn't mean that they
aren't "homegrown hacks". There's more than a handful of them that moved away
long ago.... even as cops. This is politics. Something I regret to inform you that you
are unfamiliar with... the next head, if so, will be a bigger hack.. and this isn't just
wishful thinking...it's fact.
;;;You make my point.
