The Standard Times ran an editorial today about the decision to look outside the police department when hiring a deputy chief.
Curt Brown has a blog post here and an article here about the issue.
Applicants have been narrowed down to 26 from over 70 initially. Responses to written questions are due Friday ...
..from the remaining candidates. These will be reviewed and the field reduced to 5 or 6. Those candidates will be interviewed. The final selection will be from that group.
No members of the current force or the Sheriff's department are in the final 26.
What are your thoughts about the process and the new Deputy Chief coming from outside the department?

After reading the original post, I would have said hire the best candidate from with in or from outside. But because the chief could no hand pick the next chain of command of the department he ran away like a cry baby, stopping the process. He did this for one reason to throw a wrench into the works, he hopes his buddy Gary becomes chief, and then he will make Bobby the deputy, all in house choices good way to keep the skeletons buried, and pad the retirement pensions. Its all about the thin blue line!
