Was there any follow up on this Menlo Park race allegations story? I am curious how that turned out since Sgt. Prickett has a reputation in our community for having race issues. Does he still work for the department?

With this many problems, there must be a problem in management. The council and city manager need to dig into this as soon as possible. The problems of recruitment clearly are affected by this underlying problem. We all know people don't work solely for the highest pay; most care about their work conditions.
