Phoenix expects to name finalists for the city’s next police chief next week.
Why it matters: Phoenix’s next police chief will oversee a department that is now free of the threat of federal oversight following a damning U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) report that had highlighted violations of civil and constitutional rights, but has still publicly committed to following through on reforms.
Catch up quick: The city named four finalists for the position in March, but restarted its search in early April after Michael Sullivan, who’d served as interim chief since 2022, withdrew from consideration.
