F05 LENGTH: 311 words Former Garland assistant chief named police chief Greg Conley, a longtime assistant chief in Garland, has been tapped to lead the McKinney Police Depart- ment. Conley will oversee more than 200 staff members in the growing suburb of 155,000 people. McKinney officials announced the new hire March 17. "Chief Conley has the integrity, strength of character and wealth of experience we were looking for," interim city manager Tom Muehlenbeck said in a statement. "He is a proven consensus builder." Conley replaces Joe Williams, who retired in July after nearly two years in the post. The city launched an investigation into the former chief last year after a former officer complained that Williams forced him to re- sign. McKinney has withheld some of the conclusions from that inquiry, citing a pending criminal investiga- tion. David James, formerly of the Carrollton Police Department, was interim chief in McKinney. Julieta Chiquillo Woman gets over 30 years for producing child porn A McKinney woman was sentenced March 18 to nearly 34 years in federal prison for child pornography viola- tions, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Judith Williams, 31, pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to produce child pornography and production of child pornography. She was sentenced in federal court in Plano. According to prosecutors, Williams was baby-sitting an 8-month-old girl in December 2012 when she vide- otaped herself performing a sex act on the girl and then emailed the video to her boyfriend. The boyfriend, Charles Smolens, gave Williams a thumb drive that had hundreds of images of child pornography, prosecu- tors say. Smolens had produced some of the images, according to the court. Smolens was convicted of conspiracy to produce child pornography and distribution of child pornography. He was sentenced last month to more than 30 years in federal prison.

Based on this week 's reception with four finalists for the position, its approach seems on track. After a nationwide search with The Mercer Group, a recruiting firm, the city last month selected five finalists, all but one currently with DFW-area law enforcement agencies. One candidate, Stephen Mylett, former police chief for Southlake PD, has taken the same position with Bellevue PD. That leaves John Ray, Mark McCrory, Greg Conley - each with at least 25 years in law enforcement - and McKinney PD Assistant Chief Randy Roland. On Wednesday, the four mingled with residents, city officials, City Council candidates and fellow first responders. Each was complimentary of the city and its offerings. They spoke of their qualifications and eagerness to take on the task of keeping safe one of the state's fastest-growing cities. McCrory, the only candidate from outside Texas - he's deputy chief of police for Tulsa PD in Oklahoma - has 33 years of experience, the most in the group. He's been with Tulsa PD his whole career. As deputy chief, he supervises three patrol divisions and one support division. Rising through the ranks has versed him in every facet of a police department, he said, yet his philosophy is "pretty simple." "The community has a right to how it will remain safe," McCrory told guests. "Organizational and profes- sional integrity I don't think should ever be compromised." Just words, yes, but in contrast to the public's perception of former police Chief Joe Williams, who retired in July after a controversial tenure. Upon firing former Chief Doug Kowalski - now Prosper police chief - then-City Manager Jason Gray named Williams chief without conducting a search. The move caught city officials and residents off guard. Some City Council members publicly expressed dis- dain with the sudden switch, and residents called for Gray's resignation. They even cried cronyism: Williams had worked with Gray in Celina and Frisco before coming to McKinney. The city hired interim police Chief David James, former Carrollton chief, to lead MPD until a permanent re- placement is selected. James will stay on as an adviser for 30 days after the coming selection. He said MPD most needs a "good, strong administrator" who knows the business side of running the de- partment. Much of that, he said, entails working together. "It's about being a team player with other departments," he said. "It takes a team to run a city like this." 5 So far, it's taken a team to find the next police chief. Community members provided feedback online and at a series of public meetings in the fall. Each finalist will have gone before several panels: area police chiefs, department heads, community members, the city manager's office and MPD. Roland, formerly with Dallas PD, started in McKinney as a civilian manager in 2000. The department has grown from 67 to 188 officers during his tenure. Promoted to assistant chief in 2010, Roland said he sees the top spot as "a challenge" but that he "just wants to continue to be a part" of serving McKinney residents. "I know its makeup, its strengths and its weaknesses to improve upon," Roland said. "There's not going to be a learning curve." Roland cited "hiring the right people" as a high priority for MPD, and ensuring all employees are visible and service-oriented. The two other finalists, Ray and Conley, talked of McKinney's enticing reputation and opportunity. Ray, ex- ecutive chief deputy with the Tarrant County Sheriff's office, spent time with Jacksonville, Texas and Longview PDs. Conley, assistant chief for Garland PD, was with Mesquite PD for four years before starting in Garland in 1992. Finalists also took tours of the city and public safety building. Interim City Manager Tom Muehlenbeck said the city could name the new chief in a little over a week. What's the key quality for MPD's next leader? "Chemistry," Muehlenbeck said.
