Resident Speaks Out Against GPD Management
Posted by ryan on January 1, 2008
From the News & Records Letters to the Editor section:
“We have had a scandal with the police chief, murders up in our community, sex scandal with officers, etc. I work in manufacturing. If we ran our business like our Police Department is being run, we would not be in business any longer.
Why are the citizens of Greensboro accepting this? Sure, our illustrious City Council, made up of lawyers, real-estate and land developers, says it is concerned. It will
“meet” on the subject!
I run in the downtown area about every day and it is a lawless society while on foot. No one follows any pedestrian right-of-way laws. We had a friend whose house was vandalized. The burglar was still in the house when 911 was called. The police said they were busy and it took more than 20 minutes.
Something is wrong, and the answer is not getting more officers. It is getting the right officers and leadership. Maybe Greensboro should consider getting outside the
“good ol’ boy” network and hire someone to run the department who is an accomplished businessman.
I think others would agree the citizens of Greensboro really only want one thing out of the Police Department: customer service in the way of a safe and law-abiding community.
Cary Wren”
Do you agree/disagree with the letter?

Unless the letter writer is referring to something Tim Bellamy has done, the only scandal involving a Greensboro police chief was the one engineered by Mitch Johnson to support the various agendas of certain factions.
