(Critics said they more effective leadership for the police department and that Castillo could have stayed with the rank of lieutenant but chose to resign.)
The unofficial word is that Castillo will supplement his retirement pay with a check from Walmart. He's apparently taken a job there as a security officer. Word also is that his brother will be joining him. Remember, though, it unofficial.
The Chicken Genius.
Kester, like the rest of the police officers at the hpd. Are not qualified to be chiefs. These guys are not smart enough, and have too many friends within the dept. to be effective.
Kester is a good officer, supervisor and administrator. He will do a good job.
