Chief Webster Retires

After a long political battle both in the media and blogs, Chief Webster is retiring after spending 10 years as the city police chief.

Webster is pursuing medical retirement for a shoulder injury that he suffered sometime during the course of his career. Webster is also currently retired, and collecting retirement, from Baltimore where he spend a career as a police officer eventually rising to the level of a ranking officer, we believe a major, in internal affairs.

During his retirement, he will get 70% of his current salary paid to him as a police chief from the city due to LEOPS retirement if he retires on disability.

Although just weeks ago Webster traded quips with a reporter from WBOC stating that he will only leave when Allen Webster is ready. This seems to be a departure from his last attitude and may very well be due to the fact that the city offered him a medical retirement in order to leave, although that is pure speculation.

What are your thoughts on a possible replacement? What type of changes do you think would benefit the department and the citizens?

The govt should have to check MD Jud Case Search on any candidate from MD. If they have none, or very few cases in the past 20 years, they should be eliminated. Only somebody who has actually been a cop, knows how to lead a cop.

find someone that leads from the front, been there done that, kinda guy. Someone who will go in there and clean house and place the type of people up top that are friendly and know how to work with other agencies. The brass that is in there right now are distant and uncooperative.

Another example of great guy, but has not been involved in a criminal prosecution in past twenty years. Check for yourself.
