Where popular elections occur for municipal chiefs of police, county sheriffs or even tops of state & national police forces such popular elections will alternate cycle-to-cycle with appointments to the same by an associated legislative body, executive or by the associated law enforcement department(s). Appointments should occur not too long after the seating of the previous election cycle. The appointing bodies have option to first choose whether or not to change the current sitting official with respect to any applicable term limits. |
