The City of Olympia decided late last year to fund a Chief's Forum as a way to generate police accountability. So far, seven people have applied for nomination to this board.
» Norman L Overdahl -US Army, Retired Colonel (28yrs) and North Thurston HS Transportation 1984-1999 (Retired) Jim Boyde – former General Manager at Capital Mall and candidate for Oly City Council against Matt Green (2002?) (Jim lost with 45% of the vote... after living here 2 years!) Mark A Axtell – Olympia PD Reserve officer, 1980’s; WA Corrections Officer 1981-1984; current board member of the NE Neighborhood Association. John W Sleeter – Thurston County Superior Court Administrator (retired); WA Commission on Judicial Conduct since 8/05 and currently; Regional Justice Center Board (retired). Susan I Gallagher – Special Education Teacher, Komachin Middle School and Bread and Roses volunteer cook twice a month. Paul Seabert – Olympia Downtown Association Safety Committee, Wind Up Here (Retired) Donald G Lewis – Owner, Donlad G Lewis LLC, a Transportation Consulting business; WA Utilities and Transportation Commission regulator 25+ years; WA State Patrol 1995-2000 Sworn (armed) officer (Retired). Also works with CYS transitional housing and with Bread and Roses, serving food.
Will Drew be joining the Chief's Forum? Heck no! The requirements include being fingerprinted, for one thing. That's something I'll endure only if I'm arrested, thank you. I don't feel like allowing the FBI to accidentally match my fingerprint with a suspect print in some bombing case, say in Spain for instance. Such as happened to that attorney in Oregon. Besides, he can hear me when I report to the Oly City Council. Or I could write him a letter. Or you could write him a letter. If you would like to you may discuss this at OlyCopWatch Forum Or here. |

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Mon, 03/20/2006 - 3:49pm.This way, there is less likelihood that someone who has been involved in crime circuits, and has left his finger prints here and there, (yet has managed to elude apprehension,) could run for office and potentially win an election.
Uhm, I can see why
Submitted by DrewHendricks on Tue, 03/21/2006 - 5:41pm.I'm of two minds which is better, given our situation in this county...
Long before I advocate something as foolish as electing police officers, I would like to see just what we can accomplish with a little active oversight and threat of public censure or exposure. So far, we seem to see some institutional responses; "Let them eat Subcommittees."
Maybe they want to do a
