Stop police dysfunction

The shameful and embarrassing circus occurring yet again in Coral Gables has merely proven the need for new city leadership.

The Coral Gables Police Department has been the subject of significant scrutiny and controversy for the past several years. It is clear the city has failed to correct the problems and find the right leadership. To consider only two candidates for police chief whose disdain for each other has spilled into public view, caused so much polarity and third world politics was a testament to the real problem.

The police department and City Hall both need new management and elected officials. The employees of the department and residents alike have suffered enough from years of this nonsense. Bring in a real chief of police, and put a stop to the dysfunction.
