Houston Mayor John Whitmire said the new chief 'brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of service and dedication to his new role.'
The city of Houston is preparing to move forward with a new era in the police department, hiring a law enforcement veteran to lead.Mayor John Whitmire has named a new chief for the Houston Police Department Thursday.
"Larry has been an outstanding leader in law enforcement, demonstrating unwavering dedication and commitment to the safety and well-being of Houstonians," Whitmire said in a letter to council members. The 41-page report found that investigators were using this "SL code" as they were told. And there weren't guidelines on how to use it based on certain crimes.The fallout has been tremendous over the past six months. Whitmire accepted the retirement of Troy Finner in May, and the now-former Houston Police Chief recently said he believes he was pushed out to bury the scandal.
