I'm innocent. It wasn't me riding my bike down there all the time.

I'd play with her.

May not be big around, but it sure is short!

It outlines five main concerns over the course of several months:

• Lack of overall police presence during busy tourist hours
• Lack of foot patrols by Nashville Police
• Officers using patrol cars for personal use
• Too much overtime
• Burris living '68 miles' from Nashville

Item 1: Was it impacting crime?

How do you square item 1 and item 4 at the same time? Wouldnt more #1 cause even more #4? Does the council have the budget for more officers to reduce OT? Or is she forced to pay OT because the council wont fund more officers working 40 hours?

Its normal to have take home cars. It allows for faster response of off duty officers during a critical emergency. Or were they leaving personal cars at the office and taking the cruisers to take the fam places instead of the minivan resulting in excessive mileage?

And for the record, I might also allow her to frisk me. LOL

You might be more hard up than me.

I said might. I might change my mind when I see the rest of her. LOL

I live 53 miles from work. I know the town would like me closer too. 68 miles for a police chief? I can see the councils point on that. They have real concerns. Wether they were real or not, or just perceived, I don't know. Probably could have been handled better though.

The link in KLB’s post pretty much explains it all. I found the paragraph about scheduling a bit confusing, but it sounds like the town asked her to schedule officers to work specific time periods, and she did just the opposite.

Two sides to a story but if the town’s letter is reasonably accurate … not surprised.

A lot of jobs working for local governments require residency in the borders of that government.

Be interesting to know whether she began the job so far away or moved after getting it? Or if she concealed how far out she was?

Every day Burris racked up 136 miles on her taxpayer owned patrol car, before she was even in effective range to respond to calls? Same goes for fuel consumption. +/- 5 gallons fuel daily used just to get to the streets of Nashville?

Let alone emergency response time, requiring the chief's presence in the best case just under an hour, depending on how many speed limits were broken?
