KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The wait to find out who will be Kansas City’s next police chief continues.
After an approximately two-hour, closed-door meeting Tuesday, members of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners did not select one of three finalists. Another police board meeting will be held Thursday at 9 a.m. to continue discussing who will become the city’s next police chief.
“I expect us to be able to talk a little bit more to some of the candidates’ superiors,” Mayor Quinton Lucas said. “I think the goal is that, after the Thursday meeting, there will be some determination in terms of the next police chief for Kansas City.”
Pastor Darron Edwards waited to hear the board’s decision Tuesday and was disappointed a decision was not finalized.
“This city needs a top cop who is ready to bring a sense of calm and healing to this city that we talk about,” said Edwards. “But, it cannot happen with a vacancy at the top and four to five assistant deputy chiefs that you need to fill. How can you move forward when you have delays time and time again?”
There are two outside candidates up for consideration. That includes Scott Ebner, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and Deputy Superintendent of Administration for New Jersey State Police. He has 27 years of experience. The other is Inspector DeShawn Beaufort, a 25-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department.
