Frank Anderson, Greg Ballard & the IMPD
It looks like Mayor-elect Greg Ballard has his first battle as Mayor on the table.
Via the IndyStar…
Sheriff Frank Anderson said today he’s not going to give up control of the city’s police officers without a fight.
“I maintain that the people want an elected sheriff to be responsible for law enforcement.”
I honestly am not sure what the best arrangement is and there are valid arguments on both sides. This still seems like a mess overall, but my hope is that whatever changes are made and once the dust has settled from that, we’ll be better off as a city and the crime issues are addressed.
Regardless, it’ll certainly be interesting to see what comes of this, especially since Frank Anderson only supported the IPD-Marion County Sheriffs Department merger once he was given control over the officers.
