Police Board President Dawe Skips Meeting After Resignation Demand
The first regular Board of Police Commissioners meeting since Mayor Behrens demanded President Samuel Dawe's resignation was postponed when Dawe and Commissioner Richard Murphy failed to attend. The session was rescheduled for July 14 after attempts to reach Dawe and Murphy failed and Dawe indicated he would not attend. The mayor's stance centers on Dawe's alleged support for former Police Captain Charles Wheeler for mayor, a claim Dawe has not commented on.
