Wolfeboro Police Chief

[Descant]

In a small state like NH police all over the state are known to each other. You don't get to be chief because you have no credentials, or because nobody knows you. Why isn't anybody questioning the commission that screened and hired this guy? We've seen other threads with police chief issues. This is not just a Wolfeboro problem, but it is a hiring problem.

Aps and Major laid it out.
Changing standards. So what someone did in the past may have been more acceptable from a legal and social outlook.

Also, ex-employers really don't need the hassle of either a civil suit from a former employee or the social media attacks should they become disgruntled.

Millions have been donated to anti-police organizations, including PolicyLink, the group behind DefundPolice.org, according to investigative reporter Lee Fang. (Million$ by Facebook's Zuckerberg).

Look up Shivanthi Sathanandan--today's champion for defunding police--in Facebook. You'll get a chuckle (or maybe, a grimace).
