Bellingham officials are using the city’s community-participation website to ask what local residents expect from their new chief of police.

Chief David Doll resigned in January after 40 years with the Police Department and Deputy Chief Flo Simon was named interim chief as a nationwide search began to replace Doll.

“Like so many communities across the nation, we see the years ahead as transformational for law enforcement and public safety,” the city said at its Engage Bellingham website.
