As Chandler Police Chief Bryan Chapman was refuting allegations made by Councilmember O.D. Harris during a May 18 study session, he raised his voice in public for perhaps the first time in the two-plus years he’s been chief.
Chapman was explaining the importance of Flock license plate cameras and the company’s data-sharing policies after Harris had been grilling the chief on which agencies also end up seeing Flock’s data on Chandler vehicles and occupants.
The tough line of questioning about cooperation and information sharing with immigration enforcement authorities was part of a change in the way Harris has dealt with law enforcement in council meetings, study sessions and work sessions has changed in a noticeable way over the past year.
