What Does the Police Chief Search Committee Want to See In a New Chief?

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee March 11, 2010

I'm so glad you asked.


From the ST:



At least 10 years of command-level experience in a large urban police agency;


• The ability to work with all segments of the community and elected leaders;


• A willingness to reach out to minority communities;


• An understanding of the importance of diversity and inclusiveness in and outside the department;


• Strong management and leadership skills;


• Experience working with labor organizations;


• And, in a nod to the Seattle way of doing things, the ability to deal with "ambiguity and process."
