Remember the "Beltway Sniper Incident", and the utterly inept Police Chief Charles Alexander Moose?
That's right. He was the chief of the Montgomery County Police.
Jus' sayin'.
Chief Moose went on to become a police officer in Honolulu.
I found that very puzzling, because he became just a regular policeman in Honolulu. It must have been quite a comedown for him to have gone from being chief of police in a major urban area to a beat cop.
I guess we could wonder why Chief Moose was never considered for high level police jobs in other places. It’s common to hear that a police chief or other higher ups have gotten recruited for similar positions elsewhere.
With the high profile that Chief Moose had during that sniper investigation, combined with his being a minority, I would have bet that he would have been recruited for police chief in numerous major cities. I guess it’s a good thing I’m not a gambling man.
