  In recent months, police received numerous complaints about homeless people damaging property and intimidating residents in the San Jacinto neighborhood, near the Salvation Army, Galveston Police Chief Charles Wiley said.
  
  Wiley sent more patrols but realized that wouldn't be enough. He decided to approach Maj.
  ...
  So Wiley contacted Winburn, and the resulting partnership between the police department and the Gulf Coast Center helped get grant money for a planned day shelter for the homeless.
  ...
  Wiley said the Gulf Coast Center recently committed $80,000 of a larger grant to the day program but has not found a site for it.
  ...
  Winburn and Wiley pointed out that there are different types of people who find themselves homeless.
  ...
  A day shelter would allow workers to determine more accurately the needs of their clients, Wiley said.
  
  Ultimately, there is another benefit to having a safe place for the homeless during the day, Wiley said.
  
  "We can't have them hanging their dirty clothes on a fence near a major intersection," he said.
  
  With an economy based in part on tourism, first impressions have dollar values tied to them.
  
  Wiley said the situation needs community-based policing solution. The essence of community policing is to address problems in neighborhoods that affect quality of life, he said.
  
  When an appropriate system, like the day shelter, is set up, police can clamp down on enforcement to the extent that the jails allow, Wiley said.
  
  "This is the perfect resolution to a problem that has impacted us for a long time," he said.

  Wiley tapped as next island police chief
  ...
  GALVESTON - Charles Wiley, the Houston Independent School District police chief, will take over as Galveston's police chief July 7 if the city council approves the appointment.
  
  "It really is a matter of me coming home more than anything else," said Wiley, who started his police career on the island almost 40 years ago.
  ...
  Wiley said he hoped to improve the police department's image and would work toward creating a service-oriented police force.
  
  "I know (the police department) has had a difficult time," he said."I'm committed to make things better.Galveston is a very historical city, and change is often difficult to come by.I think that, based on the employees I've talked to, the Galveston Police Department is ready to embrace change."
  
  Wiley is known for enforcing change in departments.Denton police Capt. Joanie Housewright, who worked four years under Wiley, described the new chief as someone who would undoubtedly take charge.
  ...
  Wiley worked as a Galveston patrol officer from 1969 to 1972.He worked for the Galveston County Sheriff's Office from 1972 to 1982.He said he kept his Galveston home and paid attention to Galveston police news even when he moved to South Carolina and other areas of Texas.
  
  "We're going to try to do things that need to be done," he said."The concerns of citizens are important, and we can become a service-oriented place."
  
  Meeting The Council
  
  In an e-mail to the city council, City Manager Steve LeBlanc said council members would be able to meet Wiley and vote on his appointment at the June 26 council meeting.
  ...
  "I believe that Mr. Wiley is the best candidate to bring the police department together and move it forward," LeBlanc said.
  ...
  Wiley was born in Galveston, attended public schools and earned his associate's degree from Galveston College.He has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and a master's degree from the University of South Carolina.
  
  Before taking the Houston school district police chief job in 2006, Wiley worked as the chief in Denton for four years, headed the police department at the Medical University of South Carolina from 1998 to 2001 and also worked the Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Georgetown police departments in South Carolina.
  
  Morris To Retire
  
  Morris said he had planned to retire when LeBlanc asked him to stay on as the interim chief.He then applied for the job full-time because it had been a "lifelong dream," he said.
  
  He said that once he learned he didn't get the job, he knew he'd be better off financially if he practiced law.
  
  But leaving the department will be difficult, he said.
  
  "It's hard to cut the umbilical cord," he said.

  Although there were allegations of wrongdoing by police, no complaint was filed against any officer, said Galveston Police Chief Charles Wiley, who testified May 7.
  
  "To our credit, we initiated an internal investigation less than 12 hours after the incident," Wiley said. "We had trouble contacting those involved, because they had lawyered up and been advised by council not to talk to police."
  
  The 13 officers disciplined by Wiley were found to have violated department paperwork policies.
  
  "We didn't find any violation of law and apparently the grand jury found the same thing," Wiley said of his officers' conduct.
  
  It is believed the bar manager testified during the proceedings, which were closed to the public.
  
  "The statement he gave to us was that officers did what they were supposed to do," Wiley said.
