What do you want in a police chief?

Friday, May 31, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano

With the search for Austin’s next police chief officially underway, the city is now seeking input from community members through an anonymous survey facilitated by executive search consultant Mosaic Public Partners. The survey (which is available in both English and Spanish) closes on June 10 and is a way for residents to share their preferences and priorities for Austin’s next chief. The position was posted on May 15 and also will remain open until June 10, with the hopes of identifying candidates soon afterward. After a series of interviews and a public meet and greet, City Manager T.C. Broadnax will select a finalist, with their employment dependent on City Council’s confirmation.
