Attention: CPS Consulting

I am respectfully requesting to be considered for the position of Chief of Police for the City of
Cincinnati Police Department.

I am an experienced Law Enforcement and Public Sector Executive with a demonstrated history
of leading, managing, mentoring and partnering to achieve the highest standards of a 21st
Century law enforcement organization. I am skilled in all facets of contemporary Law
Enforcement, including community policing and partnerships, evidence-based policing and data-
driven modernization to ensure crime, community and organizational accountability,
sustainability and governance. I have demonstrated the ability to embrace and translate the
philosophy and practical application of Constitutional Policing, including all aspects of Use of
Force and de-escalation, to enhance policy and procedures, while also improving officer and
organizational wellness, performance and culture. I also have proven interpersonal skills that
have allowed me to build and explore relationships that have been employed to effectively and
compassionately address some of the most vexing problems facing law enforcement and the
communities we serve.

My thirty-five years of experience as a law enforcement professional with the Los Angeles
Police Department (LAPD) and the Los Angeles School Police Department (LAPSD), and my
present role as Principle Public Safety Consultant for SAS Justice and Public Safety, has given
me an unmatched understanding and capability to improve and work with a myriad of crime,
community, personnel, organizational needs and risks with the foundation in building trust,
accountability and collaboration. All of these traits and practices will transition seamlessly into
the duties, objectives and complexities surrounding the role of serving the community and police
department of the City of Cincinnati.

I am seeking out a new challenge and a place to use and impart my skills, knowledge and
leadership. I have an unwavering desire to serve, learn and grow. I plan to use my abilities to
positively affect people’s lives and the goals and objectives of the Cincinnati Police Department
and most importantly, the people we serve.

Sincerely,

Todd C. Chamberlain!
