I have liked what I've seen of Ken Miller so far and our Sunday editorial takes a deeper look at what he faces in Greensboro.
That piece, naturally, concentrates on the internal turmoil in the police department and how he'll need to address it foremost.
But he'll also need to adjust to some other realities in Greensboro versus Charlotte. including the smaller size and lesser resources here.
Sheriff BJ Barnes said he believes that will be a significant adjustment.
That will include ongoing challenges in recruitment, scheduling and stretching a patrol force that is understaffed.
