Murray and Associates was chosen because of its national network of contacts and unparalleled experience conducting successful Police Chief searches. For over seventeen years, Mr. Murray has personally conducted over sixty Police Chief searches including numerous searches in the Southern California area. This has afforded him a unique understanding of the region which is a tremendous asset when recruiting candidates for the Los Angeles Police Department. Murray and Associates is based in Sacramento, California. It is expected that the terms of the contract will be negotiated and finalized by the end of next week.
The Los Angeles Police Commission is currently conducting community meetings throughout Los Angeles to obtain the public’s ideas on criteria for the selection of a new Chief of Police.
