What sets <br /> him apart, what exemplifies him, boils down into three areas. He is a person of <br /> unshakable integrity. You can talk to anyone who has known him, you may <br /> hear people who like him or didn't like him as a boss because he made them <br /> do or not do what they wanted to do or not wanted to do. But you will not find <br /> anyone who can reasonably or with any type of evidence or integrity question <br /> his integrity. That's absolutely something that's fundamental in someone <br /> you're choosing to lead an organization of this level of importance in the <br /> community.

He just recently finished his master's <br /> degree in law enforcement and public safety leadership. He is very well versed <br /> and very front of mind current day issues in law enforcement and public safety <br /> leadership. He thanked the commission for this public forum, this is a great <br /> step forward in inviting public interest and public testimony, and public <br /> participation in this process. He stated he's not from here and he doesn't know <br /> most people and explained that with his academic experience, he created a <br /> website. If people are interested from the public in what he thinks about <br /> policing issues, he would like to invite them to visit the website which is <br /> 11meetmajorben.com" it's something he set up as an academic thought process <br /> and there are a lot of academic papers there about what he thinks about <br /> different police topics and issues. When you're choosing someone for this <br /> position, you need someone who is going to use open, honest, transparent, <br /> and proactive communication to build successful collaborative partnerships <br /> and if that's what you're looking for, then he's the person for the job. <br /> ➢ Edward Ignacio stated the commission has done very well in choosing and no <br /> matter which direction they go, he thinks they'll have a great leader.
