A local group believes the city of Grand Rapids should keep looking for police chief candidates.

The city of Grand Rapids is looking for a new police chief.

They announced their 3 finalists for the job and then held an event last week which gave the public a chance to learn more about the 3 and ask questions.

This week the local NAACP branch formally requested that the city start over in their search.

They say there are red flags concerning all 3 of the candidates that were introduced to the public. 

The organization also says residents should play a greater role in the screening and selection process.

Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
