I’ve had this for a few days now, but I’ve been debating whether to post it.

I figure since it is a public document and it does shed light on the Baldwin Park chief saga, its worth putting out there.

From the looks of this e-mail, sent to Chief Executive Officer Vijay Singhal on Wednesday, El Monte police Lt. Ken Alva had some serious competition for BP chief. Notice how Suisun City Police Chief Ed Dadisho -who basically withdraws his application for police chief in this e-mail – refers to himself as the city’s No. 1 choice.
