Police interviews - Keith A. Davidson <br />Page 19 <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson why he left the Mall of <br />America. <br />Mr. Davidson said the Mall trimmed back in staff and very few of <br />the originals are left. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson to briefly review his law <br />enforcement career. <br />Mr. Davidson was most recently was the director of security for the <br />Mall of America. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson what commitment he would <br />bring to the City of Lino Lakes. <br />Mr. Davidson said he was not looking for a retirement job, he <br />enjoys being involved. He would move to the community and <br />establish residence after a successful probation period to lead the <br />police force. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson why he was interested in <br />Lino Lakes. <br />Mr. Davidson said this location is the best of both worlds, both <br />the urban and suburban. He is looking forward to relocate to <br />experience the growth, but yet be close to the City. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson when he could start the <br />job. <br />Mr. Davidson indicated that would be immediately. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson if his wife was employed. <br />Mr. Davidson said yes, she was employed at Western Engineering <br />which is located on Second Street Northeast in Minneapolis. <br />Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Davidson to describe the <br />circumstances involved in his leaving the City of Litchfield. <br />Mr. Davidson said he had a good rapport with the Mayor, Ron <br />Johnson. He received tremendous support and accomplished good <br />things for the police department. Then there was a new mayor and <br />things changed, and now his job did not seem as productive. With <br />hindsight it seems the former mayor and himself were more:visible <br />members of the community. The feeling seemed to be the new mayor <br />wanted to divorce himself from any previous administration. Mr. <br />Davidson decided for the community and his family it was best to <br />leave. This was a learning experience, learning when to leave and <br />not overstay your welcome. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
