A mayoral selection process the Mayor controls directly; partner agreements shape how community organizations participate.
The problem
The Police Chief leads the department that touches every resident's life — but the community has almost no voice in who gets the job. That distance shows up later, when trust is missing at exactly the moments it matters most.
The plan
Future Police Chief selections include a genuine community-vetting process: residents and community organizations meet candidates, ask hard questions, and their input weighs in the Mayor's decision.
Partner agreements with community groups set the structure, so the process is serious and representative — not a checkbox.
