It appears that the City of Portsmouth City Manager Mr. Kenneth Chandler had finally reached the point that he felt action needed to be taken to maintain credibility of the Portsmouth Police Department. I applaud his actions and hope other senior executive staff still there are held accountable for their transgressions.
Accountability is the key word and needs to be applied uniformly throughout the department. I don’t know Chief Corvello personally but I have heard nothing but good things about him. I wish him well in his new job and offer my assistance in anyway possible to help fix the problems within the department. I really enjoyed the work there just not the working environment or the management style of the former Chief.
I have plenty more to say, quite a few more documents to post but in an effort to let the new Chief settle into a position that is going to require significant work I am going to hold off posting any new material for a couple weeks to give him a chance to start moving forward with positive change within the department.
I have heard some interesting things about an incident involving a public figure from Portsmouth that occurred in another city but until I can confirm the information (via some additional FOIA’s) I am not going to spread rumors without documentation to back it up.
