John Timoney, America’s Worst Cop http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2007-09-20/news/john-timoney-america-s-worst-cop/  In March 1998, Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell appointed Timoney as Philadelphia Police commissioner. Timoney served through the end of 2001. His career marked a turnaround in Philadelphia's increasing homicide rate, but was not without controversy. Many of Timoney's tactics were regarded as questionable, particularly his handling of protests during the 2000 Republican National Convention.After leaving the Philadelphia police, Timoney returned to consulting and worked for a security firm in New York. He also served as a security adviser for the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York.
