Whoever that chief is going to be, they want a chief that is going to back the working officer. I think our number one priority as an organization is public safety. I want people to feel safe. He was named assistant chief in 2002. Hell replace lanier who citywide has been very popular and visible. I intend to be very visible. I intend to be as visible as i can be. Im not cathy lanier. Im Peter Newsham and i hope that the community will see me for what i am. Again, he officially takes over on september 17th and hell be spending a lot of time in the next couple of weeks with chief lanier as she gets ready to be the security chie she has a lot to share with him and leave with him. One thing im thinking of and im curious to know what you think, that he will not follow from the chief. Ive never seen any police chief
