Police chiefs, and effectively their officers, serve at the pleasure of the Mayor or City Council for exactly the purpose of POLITICAL control of law enforcement.
If ya don't like it, your best option is to get rid of the police and return Constitutional law enforcement to you duly elected County Sheriff.
“and return Constitutional law enforcement to you duly elected County Sheriff. “
No thanks. Duly elected people haven’t been very positive for most of us these days.
