Police chases have drastically decreased since East Cleveland's new chief took office
East Cleveland Police Chief Brian Gerhard sits at his desk at City Hall, on April 4, 2023.
"I'm very blunt about stuff," Gerhard told Scene early April, sitting back in his office chair."I don't have nothing to hide. You're not going to read about me in the newspaper that I have seven women that I got kids with, and I'm not paying child support. You're not going to read about that about me because, well, I'm very boring away from here."
Gerhard's revisions have made immediate improvements. In 2022, up until his installment in October, East Cleveland police tallied 149 chases , Gerhard told Scene. From October to December there were 31 "The first two weeks were just awful," a dispatcher told Scene, sitting at her computer station."Threats. Names. I got called every single thing in the book."
Patricia Blochowiak, one of East Cleveland's most outspoken councilpersons, told Scene that she believes in Gerhard's chase policy revision but she is skeptical of his other vows for department renewal. Gerhard's push to leverage a $150,000 federal grant for hundreds of ShotSpotter sensors to improve potential homicide response times, she said, is just one signifier of doubt.
