Deputy Chief Arthel Howell, above, and Lieutenant Carlos Lopez remain finalists
Police Commission Votes to Re-open Process
The City of Racine Board of Police and Fire Commissioners (PFC) announces that
Ronald Teachman, former Chief of the New Bedford, Massachusetts, police department and named finalist for the City of Racine Chief of Police position, has withdrawn his application for that position. Chief Teachman submitted a letter to the PFC on Friday, February 17, 2012, indicating that he had decided to remain with his current employer.
The PFC began the search for a chief to succeed Chief Kurt Wahlen in November, 2011, with the assistance of Springsted, Inc. Chief Teachman’s letter to the PFC, through Springsted, is attached.
On Monday, February 20, 2012, the PFC met in closed session to address the recruitment. The PFC determined that it preferred to have a broader pool of candidates moving forward. Therefore, the PFC has directed Springsted to reengage with other candidates who applied for the Racine Chief of Police position. City of Racine Deputy Chief Arthel Howell and Lieutenant Carlos Lopez remain finalists for the position. The timing of interviews is yet to be determined.
Please refer any questions to Deputy City Attorney Scott R. Letteney at (262) 636-9115.
