Police Group Endorses Grand Rapids Police Chief
The Raleigh Police Protective Association on Tuesday evening endorsed a Grand Rapids, Mich., police chief to be the city's next top cop.
Posted — UpdatedChief Harry Dolan is one of two candidates that Raleigh City Manager Russell Allen chose from a pool of 45 applicants to replace former Chief Jane Perlov, who left in March to take a corporate security job. Raleigh's interim police chief, Kent Sholar, is the second candidate.
The association said a majority of its members voted for Dolan but would not say how many members voted.
Allen, who will decide on the chief, has said he will take into account the RPPA's endorsement, as well as feedback from last week's forums. He has not given an exact date on when he will decide but has said it will be soon.
According to its Web site, the Raleigh Police Protective Association is an organization of officers who advocate for the protection and rights of police officers.
