Taylor To Name Former Chief New Chief?
From The Tulsa World Online ~ Former Tulsa Police Chief Ron Palmer will be returned to his old post today, sources familiar with Mayor Kathy Taylor's decision say. Taylor has announced plans to name a new police chief today at 3:30 p.m., but has not made the name public yet. Palmer did not immediately return phone calls Wednesday. Palmer served as police 1992-2002 and left to become a private security consultant.
David Bostrom, a law enforcement consultant from Wilmington, Del., has served as the interim chief since May.Taylor has come under fire recently by some police for deciding the post will be an at-will post rather than one covered by civil service.
A lawsuit by the three rejected internal candidates is still pending in Tulsa County District Court. They maintain Taylor is required by the City Charter to hire one of them.
