Have your lawyer go down and ask for the requirements in writing.I the chief still refuses,hit him with a writ of mandamus.If he still refuses,a judge could put him in his own jail for awhile.
I am actually going in this week to ask for exactly that. My letter was responded to by a telephone call.
I still have to live in this town, and I have several close friends on the force. So, I am cautious about causing a rukus.
It simply amazes me how they jerk you around.
