Posted Tuesday 9:50 p.m. Although he announced his retirement just before Thanksgiving, New Haven Police Department Chief Francisco Ortiz Jr., did not begin 2008 quite as relaxed as he hoped.

Ortiz — who said he would leave his post to direct security at Yale’s new West Campus beginning Jan. 20 — will instead remain the head of the NHPD “until sometime in the spring,” while City Hall continues its nationwide search for the chief’s replacement, spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said in a Dec. 28 press release.

Assistant Police Chief Herman Badger will also enter retirement...

This could very well be a sign of the Mayors micro-managing of his Depts.
If you ever wondered where that overreactionary little children thing comes from ? yup,here it is.
"it's the Chiefs fault", but John it wont be too popular with the Spanish community.
"bring him back ,baaack"
it might make them undecisive as Cops and will always be second guessing themselves as Politics comes first and Ethics,Morals and even crime fighting comes in ..maybe never
