What a pleasure to talk with Mark Johnson for @WCAX's 802 News podcast about the honor of being Burlington Police's Chief of Police. In November I gave notice that April 7 2025 would be my last day in the role, and this was a great chance to look back. buzzsprout.com/2246311/episod…

Jessica S. Tisch Jessica Tisch represents a return to the policies that restored public safety in New York City under Rudy W. Giuliani and Bill Bratton. She has made clear that the city will not tolerate a “revolving door” system that imposes few consequences on repeat offenders.

Everything old is new again. Broken Windows Policing is coming back big time. All New Yorkers should celebrate Commissioner Tisch’s initiative. It saved the Big Apple along with CompStat for 25 years. It will do it again. nypost.com/2025/04/10/us-…

On April 15, 2013, we lost 5 treasured members of our Boston community. 12-yrs-later, we renew a promise to never forget Martin, Krystle, Lingzi, Sean and DJ. One Boston Day honors them and the spirit of #BostonStrong which steadied-n-steeled a city in the days after the attack.

I got to speak with WDEV Radio's Brad Ferland about my time as Burlington's chief of police (interview starts at 51:30). In tackling crime and disorder, how can we balance individual liberty, personal dignity, social order, and the general welfare? blubrry.com/vermontviewpoi…

Many people warned this would happen: "If you get rid of shotspotter, some pople are going to bleed out and die. Not many, but some. How many is OK for the 'benefit' of less police response?" No answer. Other people didn't care. Now it's happening. Preventable and predictable.

Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.

In response to the Police Executive Research Forum’s (PERF) request for nominations for its 2025 Leadership Award, I submitted the following letter nominating my 30-year-long great friend and professional colleague, John Miller, for that recognition and honor.

One of Portland’s tallest buildings is up for sale for $70 million. In 2015 it was sold for $372 million. A stunning 80% loss in value. It breaks my heart seeing building after building go into forclosure in Portland. The price the city pays for the incompetence and terrible

This country isn’t perfect — but it’s still the best idea the world’s ever had. And California proves it every day. We turn sunshine into wine, we build, we believe, and we never bet against what’s possible. Betting against America means betting against our grads. Bad bet!

So many of the ideas discussed by Barry Friedman [email protected] et al in this piece are things I'm proud to have implemented in Burlington -- we even presented our CAIP division at the 2023 IACP conference. "A Revolution in Public Safety Is Underway" nytimes.com/2025/05/30/opi…

My most substantive contribution as a consultant on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was advising that, in the modern NYPD, Captain Holt's sexuality would be incidental and accepted. Gay cops experienced terrible prejudice and obstacles in earlier decades, but today it comes from outside, not within.

There are some brave souls among us who rush toward danger when others run away. Our NYPD 71st Precinct brother, P.O. Russel Timoshenko, made the ultimate sacrifice 18 years ago today after he was ambushed and mortally wounded five days earlier while conducting a traffic stop. He chose
