‘I’m being led by my heart,’ new Kalamazoo police chief says Updated Jan 18, 2021; KALAMAZOO, MI Three months ago, Vernon Coakley Jr. took over as chief of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety. Replacing his predecessor who was fired, and taking the leadership role amid community outrage over police actions during the summer, the task Coakley inherited did not come without challenges. But the veteran police officer said he is confident, with his experience and support from others in the department, he has what it takes to take the department in the right direction. “I was built and ready to do this,” Coakley said during a Jan. 13 virtual interview with MLive. “I had people that mentored me before, and I’m thankful for them. Along the way, as I went through this 28 years, I got to say I wasn’t thinking of sitting in this seat. But 28 years prepared me for when this opportunity came along that I was ready to sit in this seat.”
