1/26/22 - Some Opposed To Police Chief Candidates

Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 9:03 AM

A local group believes the city of Grand Rapids should keep looking for police chief candidates.

The city of Grand Rapids is looking for a new police chief.

They announced their 3 finalists for the job and then held an event last week which gave the public a chance to learn more about the 3 and ask questions.

This week the local NAACP branch formally requested that the city start over in their search.

They say there are red flags concerning all 3 of the candidates that were introduced to the public.

The organization also says residents should play a greater role in the screening and selection process.
