"Los Angeles Police Commission Seeks the Community Input in Selecting a New Chief"
 

Los Angeles – On Thursday, May 23, 2002, members of the Los Angeles Police Commission will hold the first of five community meetings throughout Los Angeles to obtain public input to assist them in choosing the selection criteria for a new Chief of Police. Police Commission President Rick Caruso stated, "The Police Commission is responsible for selecting the final three candidates from which the Mayor will select the Chief of Police. We need to know exactly what the people want in their new Chief. This is the time for people to speak out and be a part of this process."
