New headache for SAPD leadersh
A month after the hasty departure of a scandalized top cop and amid pressure to replace him with another minority, Police Chief William McManus appointed a man with a past marred by allegations of sexual impropriety.
On Sept. 22, in his biggest administrative shake-up yet, McManus — limited by union rules to a pool of five candidates — promoted Deputy Chief Rudy Gonzales, a 33-year San Antonio Police Department veteran, to the department's second-highest-ranking office of assistant chief.

Less complaints about police m
The Queensland government says there have been less complaints in the past year about the conduct of the state's police officers - which shows residents are more confident in the force.
Police minister Judy Spence said complaints against the force were down by 24 percent over the past financial year.
Around 1589 complaints were filed in 2006/07, the rate dropping from 230.1 complaints per 1000 officers to 171.4.
“This reduction is particularly significant when you consider the on-going increase in police numbers in Queensland," she said.
“In an organisation with over 9,500 employees, this is a good result."
“Queensland police officers have one of the hardest jobs. They constantly face challenging situations, often dealing with unreasonable or agitated members of the public. Yet they manage to act with integrity and respect on almost all occasions."
“Police in Queensland deserve to be commended for acting with such honour and dedication.”
Ms Spence said changes in the way complaints were managed meant legitimate cases were handled "in the best possible manner".
“The Complaints, Other Matters, Processing and Statistical System (COMPASS) provides more accurate monitoring of complaints made by members of the public, the indigenous community or members of the Queensland Police Service who make complaints against fellow officers,” Ms Spence said.
“The system is now more transparent than ever, and the community is well aware of the various avenues for making a complaint.”
