<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">Mayor Nancy Chaney states, “Chief Weaver is a much-respected, warmly-regarded champion of community-oriented policing. Moscow has benefited immeasurably from his effective, yet gentle style of leadership over
his many years of service. We wish Dan and his wife Sally well as they pursue life’s next adventures in retirement.”</p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"><img hspace="12" alt="Description: Description: Duke" align="left" src="cid:image006.jpg@01CB7B6A.795DC790" width="77" height="108">David J. Duke, current Assistant Chief of Police has been recognized as the
best candidate to lead Moscow’s Police Department and is the recommended replacement for the Police Chief position. Duke has been involved in police work for the past thirty-six years. After serving twenty-three years with the Oklahoma City Police Department,
he was hired by the MPD in 1999. Duke earned a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice in 1984 and a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Management and Administration in 1986, both from the University of Central Oklahoma. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy
and Northwestern University’s School of Police Staff and Command. He possesses basic, intermediate, advanced, and management certificates through the Idaho Peace Officers Training Council.
</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">Gary J. Riedner, Moscow City Supervisor notes, “This occasion offers an opportunity to review the structure and organization of the MPD. By making some changes, the City is able to retain its commitment to the
promotion of qualified employees while meeting the City’s mission to deliver quality municipal services while ensuring responsible use of resources.”
</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">As the City continually looks for ways to improve operations in all departments, the MPD is no exception. With the changes made in the Police Chief position, several other changes in the department are being
made to ensure citizens receive the best, most efficient service possible. To that end, the Assistant Chief of Police position will be eliminated and a sergeant’s position will be re-classified to lieutenant. This additional lieutenant will join the two
existing lieutenants (Lt. David Lehmitz and Lt. Paul Kwiatkowski) in leading a streamlined division structure to include an Operations, Support Services, and Campus Division.
</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">Weaver will receive a retirement compensation package that will include 18 months of health coverage beginning January 1, 2011 and a lump sum payment of $60,000. “This package, in conjunction with the restructuring
of the department, will result in a net financial gain for the City of Moscow and will allow for more efficiency in police administration,” explained Riedner. Council President Wayne Krauss comments, “The Chief’s retirement is a great loss, however, the ability
to make some personnel adjustments is a financial benefit for our community during these tough economic times. He will be missed, but surely not forgotten.”</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">The City of Moscow and MPD follows a Community Policing model designed to meet the goal of supporting our community as a whole. Highly trained, sworn police officers continuously interact with citizens in an
informal atmosphere. The Community Policing model was implemented by Weaver during his tenure with the City. Taking a proactive stance to address public safety issues and working with agencies and citizens in a positive manner is a proven method of precluding
criminal activity before it becomes a much larger issue and safety risk. This promotes an atmosphere of increase responsiveness and responsibility throughout our community.</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class="MsoNormal">The Moscow City Council is expected to accept Weaver’s retirement and Duke’s appointment on November 15, 2010, to be effective on January 1, 2011.</p>
