NEW INTERIM FULLERTON POLICE CHIEF STARTS JAN 3, 2012
Fullerton Names New Acting Police Chief, Lou Ponsi, OC Register, 12/21/11
“Capt. Dan Hughes will replace Capt. Kevin Hamilton, who had been acting chief since Michael Sellers went on medical leave in wake of Kelly Thomas death.”
ROBYN’S THOUGHTS ON THE NEW INTERIM CHIEF
Appointing Dan Hughes to replace retiring Interim Chief Kevin Hamilton seems to be a good move by the City of Fullerton.
I’ve been following the FPD closely since Oct 2010, when our family was the victim of a mistaken narc raid - cops were supposed to be next door. (The incident was initially handled poorly, but resolved well eventually, with the positive policy change for which I advocated, public and written apologies from the Fullerton Police Department and from the City of Fullerton, wide-spread news coverage of the public apology, etc.)
I learned a great deal about the FPD and Dan Hughes by working through my own incident and through my heightened awareness of other issues.
In addition to my own numerous interactions with Hughes, I’ve also watched Hughes interact with people (often angry) at the protests, city council meetings, and in other venues.
I have been impressed with him. Hughes is a 28-year veteran of the department. I’ve found him to be competent, intelligent, open, and knowledgeable. He’s been incredibly helpful to me as I have asked questions about policies, procedures, and all kinds of things related to the FPD.
He has impressive people skills; he is a good listener; he treats people with respect. He has shown great wisdom and restraint in dealing with the protests and the city council meetings; he does not needlessly provoke and is not heavy-handed.
My many interactions and observations lead me to believe that he is a man of integrity, and that he is serious about leadership, responsibility, and accountability. Hughes cares about the community and has strong roots here-he grew up in Fullerton and has family here.
