Denver New Police Chief Vows To Make Good Department Great

The Denver Post

Denver's new police chief, Robert White, took the oath of office Monday, vowing to usher in a new era of trust and respect between police and a community stunned by several high-profile brutality cases.
White, who left the same job in Louisville, Ky., to come to Denver, said he plans to build on work done by his predecessor, Gerry Whitman, who held the job for 12 years.
White said Whitman, who returns to the rank of captain, did a great job. But the new chief also said he expects to improve on it.
"We will be a better department than we have ever been," White told a crowd of police brass and city officials at his swearing-in ceremony. ". . . I agree with (Mayor Michael Hancock) that this is a good Police

Department, but we are going to make it a great Police Department.
