NEW ACRB FINALISTS MEET THE PUBLIC
TOMORROW: TUES. 6/26 @ 6:30 PM, Atlanta City Hall, 2nd Floor
Last week, we shared that both ACRB Investigator Sheena Robertson and former New Orleans Deputy Police Monitor Holly Wiseman were repeat finalists for ACRB Executive Director. One ACRB member reported that the board was unable to settle on three finalists and instead voted to present four to the public (because Wiseman and another candidate were tied). By the looks of it, that is no longer the case. Here are the three finalists, according to the ACRB website:
RICHARD A. RASMUSSEN of Sandy, Utah
Administrator with the Salt Lake City Civilian Review Board; Deputy Director Emer. Ops, SLC; Supervisor Special Agent, FBI; Special Agent, FBI; AF Officer; Investigative Skills Expert; Military Service, Bachelor of Science Degree.

Assistant Director, Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, Minneapolis Civilian Police Review Authority (CRA); Manager, Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights; Minneapolis Civilian Police Review Authority; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Attorney; Juris Doctor 2002; Masters of Business Administration 2002.
