Thursday’s local skewspaper ran an article headlined Committee picked to choose Cd’A chief. The article said that the 13-member selection committee is still looking for someone to fill the one remaining citizen-at-large spot.
OpenCdA nominates Hayden attorney Larry Beck for that one remaining spot.
His name is already familiar to the Coeur d’Alene City Attorney’s Office. Mr. Beck is the attorney who successfully represented wrongfully fired Coeur d’Alene Police lieutenant Dan Dixon in his federal lawsuit against the City of Coeur d’Alene.
Mr. Beck’s insight into the inner workings of the Coeur d’Alene Police Department would bring an interesting and very informed perspective to the process of selecting a new police chief. Knowing what is broken is a good first step on the journey to fixing it.
