    Does the building need to be named after a person? With so many great officers who have served our city, it would seem unfair to honor just one. I read there was a $24,900 settlement due to Robertson acting inappropriately to a fellow female officer. I heard another firsthand account of him treating female officers disrespectfully. Not sure if that would boost morale for retaining or recruiting females.
