I found the news about Chief David Kunkle’s retirement curious. About two weeks ago, the folks at the Dallas Police Association asked me for survey of Dallas cops we did back in 2003 that showed how low morale was under Terrell Bolton. As Kunkle himself has said, that job has a shelf life no matter how well you perform it. It looked like the troops were getting restless. Let’s hope City Manager Mary Suhm gets some decent résumés to choose from.
And with the chief stepping down, I thought it appropriate to post a link to our 2007 cover story about the chief and his missus, Sarah Dodd, both of whom were kind enough to play small roles in FrontBurner: The Movie.
