Mayor Sharon Weston Broome is expected to name a new chief of the Baton Rouge Police before the end of the year.
The new chief will be chosen from a list of five candidates recommended last month by a search committee the mayor appointed.
The list includes four high-ranking BRPD personnel and a former Lafayette Police chief.
The new chief will face the problems of violent crime and the recruitment and retention of officers.
