Last time there was supposed to be a Coffee with the Chief event it was canceled and notice was not widely put out as many complained that they drove all over looking for it. It was not odd to have the event canceled as Chief Deanda was entering retirement and an interm police chief was getting settled.
Yet will residents give Chief Kling a fair shake? Well he should be able to slip right into the role he created over 10 years ago. Yes Interm Police Chief is the former Chief of Police before Tony Fararr and was the architect of programs in Rialto like Coffee with the Chief, Community Policing and Area Command Meetings. Chief Kling was also the one to bring in collaboration with code enforcement and beefing up parking enforcement. New residents are in for a treat as Chief Kling always seemed to enjoy the interactions he had with the community at these meetings. Now the community gets to see if a decade away from sitting in the seat as chief has changed him any.
Come on out to this meeting this will be one you don’t want to miss.

Mark Kling is one of the best leaders that exists in public service. He truly cares about the community he serves and the people he leads. He is NOTHING like the last two bozos that loitered in the “Chiefs” seat. If you haven’t met Chief Kling, make sure you take advantage of the opportunity to do so, he is a one of a kind Class Act!
