Former KSP Commissioner Ishmon Burks named interim LMPD chief

Yes -- but to be hired fresh you must pass certain pre cert tests - including pops and a polygraph. Best I can tell he did none of them

Remember the ksp position was not a certified one so he is classified as a newbie. This is not about attending basic it is about the pre hiring requirements required of every new hire.

Their are executive exemptions to every rule. If you don't believe me, call EKU and ask the DOCJT staff.

I for one am happy about the "ish"... after all that means I can be ast court at 9 ish... and roll call at 2 ish.

Bu seriosly he has already changed the game at compstat - he told the bosses that the number one rule was to take care of the officers and their families. This is a giant shift from the "crump" effect of wanting "sergeants to get 'blood' on their hands" (thanks buck for that quote that will haunt you forever).

Be patient.

Dont ***** yet.

Things just might be getting better.

Be patient, and wait.

By the way, regardless of our new permanent chief will be, he or she will have to take time to do things right to correct the fubar way the past chief ran the dept
