Fullerton Has New Acting Police Chief: Dan Hughes

• Meet the new boss same as the old boss! Wouldnt trust him as far as i could throw him. True example of a lazy city council and city manager. A murder happened on his watch! That should disqualify you in a normal world. It starts at the top. Outside appointment is the only thing that could salvage that PD at all. And they just kick the can down the road. Spit!

• I disagree with Nordell.  You had the city council and police "over the barrel".  You chose to not sue Fullerton PD for a major mistake that could have easily cost lives in your family.  In return it took the Fullerton PD ONE YEAR to get around to apologizing to you after they tried to cover up the situation. Now you are supporting the new acting chief and former Captain.  However, he was in charge of the men who did the cover up in your case and the K. Thomas fiasco and you think its good for Fullerton to appoint him as chief?  How about the sexual harassment of women in the back seat of a Fullerton PD  police car..... cost the city $350,000 cash.  Policeman is still collecting pay.  How about the policewoman who stole an ipad at the Tampa airport.  Still on the job!  You are a toadie for the police because they kissed your butt to save having to pay out many thousands of dollars to your family!  By the way, they are still all on the job, no demotions, nothing!

• DITTO Robyn Nordell.

• I’ve been following the FPD  closely since Oct 2010, when our family was the victim of a mistaken narc raid- cops were supposed to be next door. (Incident was initially handled poorly, but resolved well eventually, with positive policy change.) I’ve had numerous personal interactions with Dan Hughes and have watched him closely with others.  Dan Hughes is well-qualified for the position of acting police chief and is respected and trusted by many in the community, including some of the protesters with whom he has had repeated interactions. He’s got great people skills and consistently has made himself available to the public at the protests, at the city council meetings, in the community... I think this is a good move for Fullerton.
