I strongly believe in formal education for police. I worked nights on the Minneapolis Police Department tactical squad while he attended classes at the University of Minnesota. As chief of police in Burnsville (MN), the department become one of the first in the nation to require a four-year college degree for police officers. In Madison, I became a disciple of Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s methods of quality improvement and applied them to the police. Of all the things I did during my twenty plus years as chief of police in Madison, the most important were to bring peace to the streets of the city, integrate the department, and gain new respect for Madison police officers — respect that had been lost during street battles with anti-war protestors before I came to Madison.
