SUCH THINGS TEND TO NOT STAY SECRET FOR LONG

By Bob Walsh

I wrote recently about the Chief of Police of Hayward, California, being put on paid administrative leave pending an investigation which was, at the time, being kept on the QT. That didn’t last long.

The focus of the investigation appears to be alleged favoritism shown by the chief, Diane Stuart, towards contracting services offered by her then-boyfriend now-husband. The hubby, David Stuart, heads a company that offers certain types of specialized technical services and executive training. The most recent of these training seminars was a Peace Officer Standards and Training certified class called “Effective Executive Communication.”

I wonder if part of that communication involves letting the city manager know the chief of police is banging the contractor.
