The city of Phoenix will name Jeri Williams its new police chief soon, a source told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Wednesday.
Williams, a former assistant police chief in Phoenix, will be the first female chief in the city’s history.
She will take over the department in October, when current Chief Joe Yahner retires.
Williams left the Phoenix Police Department in early 2011 to take over as chief of police in Oxnard, California.
