Question raised by former Mayor William Stortz:
The current Charter, Sec 45 (a) says.. The Police Department shall be under the general supervision of the board of police commissioners. Sec. 45 (f) says in part… Said Board of Police Commissioners, subject to the approval of the City Council, shall make rules and regulations for the government of the Police Department….Which prevails?
Stortz points out this same issue applies to the fire chief and others who have boards they typically take direction from.
