DETROIT POLICE SEX SCANDAL - FIRE CHIEF GODBEE
DPD Police Chief Ralph Godbee has been suspended for a month, pending a complete investigation into a sexual affair with a Internal Affairs police officer.
News organizations are going crazy trying to track down more information - this will become a national news story and another negative story that will bring ridicule and leave a further impression that Detroit is not a place you want to visit or live.
I have said since the day Mayor Bing appointed Godbee - that Godbee "should not be the face of the Detroit Police Department" - he held fundraisers for XMayor Kilpatrick and was a supporter. He
admitted to an adulterous relationship with former PC Warren Evans girlfriend.
Now he apparently has two girlfriends, who didn't know about each other and their is reports that one found out about the other, when he took one girlfriend on a 'business trip'.
The sordid details will be front page news, because one of the girlfriends has an attorney - and had her gun taken away from her, by the Department.
Mayor Bing was wrong to appoint Godbee - Police Chief, and failed over the last two years to fire him - for failing to build a better police department and has made several bad decisions which has endangered police officers and residents of Detroit.
Detroit must conduct a 'national search' for the best and brightest person to be the new police chief - someone who commands respect in the law enforcement community and someone with the determination to restucture the DPD to better protect Detroit residents and police officers, and visitors.
I have suggested for years - former LA Police Chief William Bratton, but DPD must not get another bad police chief chosen from 'the ranks'.
