by Mikaya Thurmond A long-time Chatsworth Police Department detective, who was let go earlier this month has just reversed his appeal to get his job back.Chief Terry Martin initially said Jim Whitehead was no longer with the department because of "personnel problems" but later said his job was eliminated because of budget cuts. Whitehead had his opportunity on November 26th for an appeal hearing before the city's police committee, but upon his arrival-- he declined the last opportunity.The attorney for the city of Chatsworth explained what exactly took place today "The city sent a certified notice to Mr. Whitehead detailing that the detective position... the only detective position for the city of Chatsworth was being done away with and therefore he would not have a job."Whitehead had worked for the department since September 20, 1990 and was paid close to 0,000 annually this year.
