I found this rather interesting post, from about a year ago, when he was initally appointed.

New Spokane Police Chief Frank Staub[sic]

Frank Straub may have a great brand of hokum to articulate but he would be a disaster for the Mayors re-election. Let me count the ways.

He is not a cop and would either have to become a rookie or be a high priced administrator and Spokane would need a police chief besides!

During his tumultuous 28-month tenure in Indianapolis he drew criticism over his aggressive leadership style and his decisions on police reforms amid multiple scandals.

The Public Safety budget ran $15 million in the red.

Property crime and violent crime went up significantly.

He hired a personal friend’s company to help him “reorganize” the police department.

He claimed “50 years of corruption” but both the mayor and the interim police chief disagreed, according to Fox News.

But with his PhD and with all of the above “qualifications”, what could go wrong?

There should be a Lemon Law pertaining to police chiefs, as there is one for clunker automobiles.

See my comments about “Police” chiefs.
