I agree with Elizabeth Lewis: Mr. Flint did come to Atherton at a critical juncture for its police department and helped restore credibility to it. I hope the town learns from its past mistakes and finds another qualified outside chief to lead the PD. The department is just too small to promote from within, and the last several attempts to do this did not work out well. Bringing in an outside chief who will hold feet to fires due to no pre-existing relationships will lead to sharper management of this expensive resource for residents. Qualified existing APD personnel would be able to get a promotion track to chief by going to another city.

A hearty thank you to Chief Flint for the good work and leadership he has rendered during his tenure as APD's Chief… and for his years of service as a law enforcement officer. On behalf of ADAPT (Atherton Disaster and Preparedness Team), we want to wish you and your family all the best in your retirement and continued best wishes for your good health. We appreciated your support over the years.
