CHP’s Johnson to Be Inglewood Chief
Deputy Chief Raymond L. Johnson, Los Angeles’ highest-ranking California Highway Patrol officer, is quitting his post to become the police chief of Inglewood.
A 21-year CHP veteran, Johnson, 50, will take over his new job on June 2. He succeeds Joseph T. Rouzan, who retired in January to become a security consultant at Los Angeles International Airport.
City Manager Paul Eckles said Johnson’s administrative and leadership skills put him at the top of a list of more than 100 applicants for the position, which pays $67,000 a year.
