“Citizens of Syracuse, I am writing to inform you I have been named a finalist for the Chief of Police position in Olympia, WA. In the interest of protecting the integrity of the process, I will not be making public comments about the matter. However, I do feel it is appropriate you hear the news directly from me rather than a news article. I will keep you abreast of any significant decisions in the future. While participating in the process, I remain fully focused and committed to my responsibilities as the Chief of Police in Syracuse. Thanks”
Chief Kenton Buckner
