COLORADO SPRINGS — Forced out by Mayor Steve Bach’s desire to “change direction,” Colorado Springs Police Chief Richard Myers said Monday he agreed to retire in mid-November, the Gazette reported.
“When Mayor Bach was elected, I told him I was here to serve and would do so loyally and do my best to lead the department in the direction he wanted to take the city, until such time that he felt he needed to bring in his own chief,” Myers said in a statement released by the city. “Recently, he informed me he is ready to make a change in direction, and he is continuing to methodically create his own management team.”
The city’s statement did not say whether Myers will receive a cash settlement or any other benefits.
