Councilwoman Hahn Welcomes Chief Charlie Beck
I am very pleased with the appointment of Charlie Beck as Los Angeles' new Chief of Police. Charlie Beck is the right man to lead the LAPD right now . He is both a cop's cop and a people's cop.
I worked with Charlie during one of the darkest moments in Los Angeles history -- the tragic killing of 14-year-old Cheryl Green. Charlie ensured that we caught the gang members responsible for her senseless death, and joined me in reaching out to the community -- he even provided his cell phone number to concerned residents.
There is no doubt in my mind that he will continue the great strides in reduced crime and improved community policing that we have seen under Chief Bratton.
