All officers work a lot of overtime and are burned out. If they were informed that it was important to me to hire a more diverse group of officers, I believe they would feel the urgency. I'm not saying this because I think they have so much respect for me; I would never be so pretentious. But I think they would feel the urgency because they know it's what's best for the Department and because no other chief has ever made it a priority. There is one caveat; officials would like assurances that we will not hire diversity at the expense of quality of hires. They would like to know that we will not lower ours
