Los Angeles' civilian Board of Police Commissioners on Wednesday unanimously selected Assistant Chief Dominic Choi to serve as the LAPD's interim chief.
"I'm very happy to be the first Korean American interim chief of the Los Angeles Police Department," he said, "and I proudly represent that community. But just to be absolutely clear, my role is to represent all communities within this city."
The appointment follows the surprise retirement of Chief Michel Moore, whose tenure was marked by greater scrutiny into excessive force and police killings of civilians in the nation’s second-largest city. Choi said he has never used deadly force during his 28 years as an officer.
