Police ombudsman

Noticed in another thread some discussion of the ombudsman candidates. For those who have attended forums, who did you like best?

  • Anthony Betz, of College Station, Tex. Mr. Betz is a retired FBI agent who is currently working as an adjunct professor at Texas A&M University.
  • Timothy Burns, of Visalia, Calif. Mr. Burns is a retired police officer who is now working as the Neighborhood Preservation Manager for the City of Visalia.
  • Greg Weber, of Spokane. Mr. Weber is an attorney in private practice and has previously served on the staff of the Washington State Attorney General.

Hope get over to City Hall at 5 p.m. to meet them.
