A new leader is temporarily in charge of the San Antonio Police Department. This change occurred after the previous chief decided to retire earlier than planned. The city manager selected a veteran officer to fill the role until a permanent chief is chosen.

The temporary chief has a long history with the department and has expressed interest in the permanent position. He has received support from the outgoing chief, which may be beneficial in the selection process.

Further details about the temporary chief and the search for a permanent one are available from local news sources, including KSAT 12.
