I know that a lot of people think that Olson should go. My feeling is that there needs to be unquestionable accountability. The council and RT will be held accountable for their actions from this point on. The responsibility is theirs now as to who is the lead person of our police department. What ever happens, the new leader of this department will be known as their person and not a person in a position appointed by past leadership. Actions (good and bad) of the police department will reflect on their leadership capabilities. So from here on out, if Olson stays, he is their police department leader. If he leaves his replacement will be their police department leader. We as a community are really in a win-win situation. What ever happens in this situation, we can now hold our leaders responsible for the departments operation. The perception of the Police Chief being chosen by past leaders and thus they have to live with it, will be gone. When the smoke clears our city leaders will be responsible for whomever is the Police chief. No excuses, just accountability.
