Los
Angeles Chief of Police Selection Process
The Los Angeles Police Commission is responsible for the selection
of three final candidates for the Chief of Police. The term for the
Chief is five years, with the possibility of a second term, if approved
by the Commission.
As per the City Charter, the recruitment, selection and appointment
process is as follows:
. |
The recruitment and selection of qualified candidates for the
position of Chief of Police shall be administered by the General
Manager of the Personnel Department, in cooperation with the
Board of Police Commissioners. |
| |
|
.
|
The General Manager of the Personnel Department shall refer
a group of at least six highly qualified candidates to the Board
of Police Commissioners. |
| |
|
.
|
After an in-depth analysis of the candidates provided by the
Personnel Department, the Board of Police Commissioners shall
provide a list of three candidates, ranked in order, to the
Mayor of the City of Los Angeles. |
| |
|
.
|
The Mayor may select any of the three candidates or request
that the Board of Police Commissioners provide another list
of three candidates. |
| |
|
|
|
The Mayor's final selection is subject to City Council approval. |
| |
|
Although there are no specific timelines for this process, it is estimated
to be complete in approximately six months.
The Board of Police Commissioners has the option to add elements to
this process to ensure a thorough and effective search.
Options include requesting that the Personnel Department work with
a search firm to assist with the process, holding public meetings
for criteria development, and selection of a Blue Ribbon Committee
to assist in listing the final criteria. |
