Vince Robison. Current LMPD Chief of Staff. Extremely popular amongst the LMPD rank and file. Advanced degree, FBI NA and SPI Graduate. Considered one of the most intelligent candidates and is completely loyal to the Louisville community.
Rick Sanders. Current Chief of Jeffersontown and extremely popular with the FOP and local Democratic Leadership.
Glen Skeens. FBI NA and SPI Graduate. Unknown local connections.
Yvette Gentry. Favorite of several Metro Council members and the local mass media.
