Navajo Chief of Police Francisco quits


Navajo Times reports that Navajo Chief of Police Francisco quit his job and handed in his badge during a Law and Order Committee meeting. ("At Stormy Meeting, Police Chief Quits") Based on the article, it sounds like certain council delegates (Raymond Smith) were not letting Francisco respond to questions posed at Francisco.  The tribe is probably going to have a hard time finding a replacement.  That position was vacant for a long time.  It will probably be vacant for a long time again. There's not enough police officers on the rez, and now they are without a leader again.
