Can you tell me a little bit about how you became chief of police and why you were specifically chosen to take over?
“Why me? That’s kind of a hard question to answer. I would just say, you know, selfishly, this is 27 years of my body of work. I’ve worked very hard, albeit within the sheriff’s office, within our legislative and government affairs, within council, within the Washoe County Commission, to make a name for myself, to be a student of the game, to continue to research, to continue to evolve and not be satisfied with the status quo.”
During the transition, under former Chief Nance, it seemed like a lot of public trust had eroded. Can you explain the tangible steps that you and the department will take and are taking to regain public trust?…
