Asheville City Council and City of Asheville Staff encourage the community to share feedback on the consideration to name police headquarters in memory of former Asheville Police Lieutenant Walter Robertson. Please feel free to share memories, stories, or thoughts below.
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.
