VIP of the Week: Chief Kevin Stenson, L.A.P.D.

Posted on 31. Jul, 2010 by Rose M Garland in Popular Stories, VIP of the Week

Never having met an actual Police Chief before, I wasn’t sure what to expect meeting Chief Kevin Stenson.  In fact, Chief Stenson is just the kind of person you’d want running things, and is a perfect VIP for this week.

It seems as if all children pretend to be policemen or women at some point, dreaming of arresting bad guys and making the world a better place.  Keeping the Lakes Area community a great place to live is something Chief Stenson tries to do on a daily basis.

Born and raised in Coon Rapids, Chief Stenson has lived in the Lakes Area for about 20 years now.  To see the video of his interview, please click play on both videos below.

For non-emergencies, you can contact the L.A.P.D. at 651.257.0622.

Editor’s Note: (I’m new at videotaping, and had to cut the video into two sections – the last word in Part 1 is ‘interesting.’  Please be patient – it’s a great interview. – Rose)
