The City Charter of Long Beach (our constitution) gives full authority to the City Manager (not the Mayor and not the City Council) to select all department heads, including the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief.
City Manager Pat West is in the middle of a process to select a new Police Chief to replace Anthony Batts who is now the Police Chief in Oakland.
You can weigh in on a city survey and tell the City Manager what you want as qualities in the next Chief of Police for Long Beach.
