    logo_sedonapoliceSedona AZ (September 24, 2016) – In June 2016, the city of Sedona conducted a nation-wide recruitment for the position of Chief of Police, and upon review, a search committee narrowed down the finalists from thirty-three to fifteen, and after phone interviews, to the top seven candidates.

    After Police Chief Ray Cota’s resignation in June 2016, the city of Sedona hired retired Police Chief Ron Wheeler as Interim Chief of Police. Wheeler committed to staying with the city until a new Chief of Police is hired and present.

    On September 29, 2016, the top seven candidates will meet city staff and undergo a series of interview panels. This comprehensive interview process will include formal interviews with City Manager Justin Clifton and panel interviews with city staff, city public safety personnel, chiefs of police and other high ranking emergency management personnel from around the state, and community members. With input from the interview panels, the final hiring decision will be made by Clifton.

    “I am looking forward to meeting our top candidates in person. Each has the direct experience and skills to move the Sedona Police Department forward,” said Clifton.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
