I support Police Chief's being appointed and serving at the pleasure of the Mayor/City Council.
What, are Police Chiefs now on the same level as some type of professional athlete / Head Coach that they need a contract? If their experience and accomplishments are legit, then why do they need a contract? When you aspire to leadership, you must accept that there are fewer protections for you. You are MORE prone to public scrutiny, you are MORE accountible than the average worker. As due compensation, you are also PAID more. It comes with the turf. Now, Minneapolis Police Chief Robert Olson gets to sit in the 'Catbird Seat' and take a sweet golden parachute. Hardly the 'destruction' of his career. This is to say nothing of whatever retirement package he has coming to him.
