Dominic Choi Appointed Interim LAPD Chief

Dominic Choi becomes the first Asian American to lead the LAPD, taking over from Michel Moore in March.

Dominic Choi, with a career starting in 1995, was unanimously chosen by the Police Commission to serve as interim LAPD Chief.
Choi's appointment follows Michel Moore's announcement to step down for family time, amid a tenure marked by scrutiny over police conduct.
Choi, the son of Korean immigrants, represents a historic first for the LAPD, emphasizing his role to represent all communities.
The search for a permanent chief, excluding Choi, will span the next six to nine months, focusing on leadership for major upcoming events.
Choi pledges a smooth transition without drastic changes, aiming for stability during his interim tenure.
