Berlin looking outside

The Town of  Berlin is doing the right thing by seeking its new police chief from outside the town’s ranks, simply because it lets town officials work with a much deeper pool of talent.

This isn’t to say the town’s personnel aren’t good at what they do, but the chances of finding the one person who ticks all the boxes rises in proportion to the number of resumes received.

This is a good, well paying job, and no one should be surprised if numerous qualified people in the region are considering applying for it. Here’s hoping that the mayor and Town Council have a tough time deciding.
