The city council finally announced that Anderson is stepping down. I am drained from this long fight but it feels good to know we forced the hand of those in charge. Keep watching the department to ensure this real change holds.

This is a petition to present to our city council in protest of Chief William Anderson of Greenville, NC. Chief William Anderson has not been an effective leader for our community. The crime rates have risen tremendously in the last 2 years since he has been in office. A growing hub of eastern NC for the past few years now, the proud citizens of Greenville are now reduced to fear of their own safety and are ashamed that our city has been publicized as having the 2nd highest spike in crime in the state. Our officers are unhappy working for him and his ridiculous rules. We do not blame Chief Anderson for the crimes being committed -- we blame his leadership for not properly handling them and for once again taking a city down the wrong path as far as officer morale. The time to take action is now before things get worse. We ask that a full investigation be done by an unbiased outside agency into the police department. We ask that they look into the accusations of police reports being purposely labeled incorrectly, officers being mistreated, the new policies he has implemented, mishandling of government funds and more. We urge this investigation to divulge into his past performance and accusations of corruption in both Deland, Fl and Elizabeth City, NC. **Please note that all unnecessary and racist signatures will be deleted.**

One hundred people have signed on to demand this investigation. I am exhausted by the constant uphill climb of this process but seeing these names proves I am not the only one who sees what is happening. We keep going.

SERIOUSLY he should have never been hired in the first place after what happened in his past jobs. Typical.

The morale in the department is clearly tanking. When the officers arent happy the whole city feels the effects. Get him out.

Ridiculous rules and reports being labeled wrong?? This sounds like corruption and it needs to be investigated immediately.

We need someone who actually cares about the community and listens to the people working the streets. He has to go.

Greenville is not what it used to be. My family does not even feel safe going out at night anymore. Time for a change at the top.
