One Houston-area political science expert argues Houston Police Chief Troy Finner ’s choice to abruptly step down amid ongoing issues surrounding hundreds of thousands of suspended cases has more to say about Houston John Whitmire’s leadership than the chief's.
Finner said although the phrase"suspended lack of personnel" was included in the email, nothing alerted him to the existence of a code or how it was applied within the department. Several local advocacy groups took issue with department personnel looking into their agency’s operations, questioning whether it could be conducted impartially.
Whitmire selected Larry Satterwhite, former executive assistant chief, to serve as the active police chief until he chooses a permanent replacement, whether Satterwhite or an out-of-town contender. Chief Troy Finner gave 34 plus years of his life to HPD. For the last 3 plus years he led the largest police force in the Southwest through some challenging and divisive times and under his direct leadership crime has trended down. His departure is a loss to HPD and our City. stBefore you can remove someone who has done an excellent job and liked, you must seek to discredit that person’s work and leadership.
