U.S. Park Police Chief Draws Suspension

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- The top uniformed officer of the U.S. Park Police was suspended Friday, days after she went public with complaints that her department was understaffed and underfunded.

Assistant Chief Ben Holmes was named as her replacement, according to a statement from the National Park Service, which oversees the Park Police. Spokesman Bill Line declined to elaborate, saying it was a personnel issue.

Chambers told various media outlets on Tuesday that she had been forced to cut back on patrols across the area because her officers are now required to guard national monuments.

The next day, Don Murphy, the U.S. Park Service's deputy director, said Chambers broke a federal rule against public comment on budget discussions and another barring someone in Chambers' position from lobbying.

1. Woman's work

God love her (Ok, men do *some* good work, too ;) )

Wasn't what they appear to have prefered from her part of why the Soviet Union fell? -A system of beaurocrats doing mediocre work and staying under the radar in order to keep what they've got?
