Glenn Doss Jr., the Detroit Police officer who died after being shot in the line of duty, was remembered by his father as the kind of son about whom “you can't find nothing bad to say” at a funeral service attended by hundreds at the Greater Grace Temple in Detroit Friday morning. “It's an honor to be his dad,” said Glenn Doss Sr., a 19-year-veteran of the Detroit Police Department, who received a standing applause as he took the stage behind the open casket of his 25-year-old son, who had served nearly two years on the force before his untimely death on Jan. 28.

San Diego Mayor's Choice For Police Chief Is From Law Enforcement Family
The man poised to become San Diego's next police chief comes from a law enforcement family and says he thinks about police work nearly around the clock, but Dave Nisleit didn't aspire to be the city's top cop until late in his career. Nisleit's father was a 35-year San Diego Police Department veteran who retired as a captain in 1999, his uncle was a police officer in Wisconsin, and his son Ryan recently graduated from the San Diego Police Academy and joined the local force. "We kind of consider law enforcement a family business, especially with San Diego," Nisleit said on Thursday after Mayor Kevin Faulconer tapped him to become the city's next chief. "It's a passion; it's a hobby; it's a job."

It touted the formation of a new group that would clean up alleys, improve safety and promote businesses in Venice Beach for five years. The price? A new charge tacked onto their tax bill. That letter was the beginning of an unusual battle pitting the Okulicks and others who own shops, apartment buildings and other properties in Venice against the newly formed business improvement district and the city itself.
