NORTH BEND, Ore. – Controversy is stirring in North Bend after two leaders in the police department left earlier this month.
Following the notifications of Chief Robert Kappelman and Captain Curt Bennett’s retirements, a statement on the city website claimed the resignations were ‘abrupt,’ but the two are saying that’s not true.
RI Law Group issued a statement on behalf of Kappelman and Bennett, saying the post indicates the city’s support for City Administrator David Milliron’s take on events, despite many complaints reportedly leveled at him.
