We need to include federal law enforcement experience in top level police administration in Washington State

I guess now that Spokane mayor David Condon has selected a police chief now those running for the legislature when in January 2013 when your elected to the legislature can you include federal experience in high level law administration.  I believe that Frank Straub the new Spokane Police chief can be very up to speed by just reading Spokane Municipal Code and Washington State Public Safety Code without having to go through a state law enforcement training.  This demotes him to a rookie.  Mayor David Condon selected to be in charge not equal to the officers he is in charge off.  Please allow federal law experience to count as state law experience please make it retroactive to 2011 so Frank Straub can be covered through this.
