Florida Civil Rights Association wants Sanford Police Chief's photo off website. [View all]

Maybe they need to make that change more permanent? Does anybody know about the FL CRA? Sounds like an organization I would love to join if they have an Orlando chapter.

They need to start with Chief Bill Lee and continue on to Wolfinger. And then they need to open up a department for complaints that Wolfinger never investigated.

Group demands removal of Sanford police chief's photo

The Florida Civil Rights Association wants Sanford city officials to remove Chief Bill Lee's photo from their government website and building because he is no longer in charge.

The Orlando-based group said changing police leadership was a step forward to restoring community trust but should be taken further.

The group's president, J. Willie David, said that while interim chief Capt. Darren Scott is the face of the department, Lee's image should be removed.

"The city needs to implement this change until a permanent police chief is sworn in by [the] Sanford mayor," he said, calling the photo a slight against Scott and part of a "culture of indifference" toward minorities.
