The Los Angeles Police Commission on Wednesday announced a department insider as its pick for an interim police chief, three weeks after LAPD Chief Michel Moore announced that he will step down at the end of the month.
The city of Los Angeles will have a new top cop, if only for the next six or so months. Three weeks after Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore's said he will step down at the end of February, the city's Police Commission announced that Assistant Chief Dominic Choi would take over as interim chief effective March 1. Choi was selected in a unanimous vote by the five-member commission.
He also reiterated his denial of a report that he had ordered two detectives to investigate a USC scholarship Bass received when she was a member of Congress representing parts of Los Angeles County. Bass has denied any wrongdoing in accepting the scholarship, and the House Committee on Ethics cleared her request to accept the tuition award.
