WE COULD FIND OUT THIS WEEK WHO WILL BE THE POLICE CHIEF AT APD. AND WE ALREADY KNOW ONE OF THE CANDIDATES. INTERIM CHIEF MICHAEL GEIER WANTS THE JOB.
GEIER WAS MOST RECENTLY POLICE CHIEF IN RIO RANCHO. KOB-TV REPORTS THAT PRIOR TO THAT, GEIER SPENT 20 YEARS WORKING FOR APD AND NEARLY 20 YEARS WORKING AS A COP IN THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO. HE HAD PLANNED TO RETIRE THERE UNTIL DOCTORS SAID GEIER’S WIFE WOULD BENEFIT FROM LIVING IN A WARMER CLIMATE … SO THEY MOVED TO NEW MEXICO.
GEIER NOW WANTS THE TOP COP’S JOB AT APD AND WANTS TO FOCUS ON COMMUNITY POLICING.
