Professor, is Tuffey accessible to the media (none / 0) (#4)

for the best interest of the citizens of Albany or the best interest in himself?  What it comes down to is we have a chief who is in over his head, who does not have the respect of his force, and does not lead by example.  The politics has taken priority over the people and that's just not acceptable.

You are right professor that Tuffey is not directly to blame for the increase in crime in the city.  He is, however, to blame for not leading a strong management team to deal with the increase.  His  actions time and time again run counter to what is recommended by groups such as the International Chiefs of Police and what has been proven to work in other parts of the country.  It's all about maintaining secrecy and control with Tuffey.  

This is what happens when managers are selected and promoted on the strength of their political connections rather than their abilities. They are ineffective leaders who don't know what to do when the chips are down (ie - 5 chiefs in 10 years).  You can blame Jerry for that part....
