Add: Will that fly with folks already upset over Meehan’s lapse of judgment in ordering a sergeant to a reporter’s home after midnight to complain about a newspaper story?

Berkeley police chief Michael Meehan is digging in after the latest embarrassment directed his way—the revelation that he had 10 cops, including four working overtime, to try and find his son’s presumably stolen cell phone. He tells the Oakland Tribune that detectives worked the case properly and that no preferential treatment was involved. He’s also attempting to distance himself from the personnel decision, saying field supervisors decided how many officers to deploy.
