“Commissioner DeVougas’ resignation was appropriate. Everybody understands that the Fire and Police Commission has had some legitimate problems. Now is the time for the Commission to turn the page to the next chapter in thoughtful oversight and change that is taking place in the department.”
“As we move forward, we are going to continue to look for people who want to serve the community. This is a critical time for police community relations, the police department and the fire department.”
