2 Former Deputy Chiefs May Seek Parks’ Job
Portland, Ore., Police Chief Mark Kroeker, who spent 32 years with the LAPD, said Thursday that he would consider applying for the LAPD chief’s job.
Police Chief Bernard C. Parks failed to win reappointment from the city Police Commission this week and is likely to be ousted.
Kroeker, 58, was a deputy chief when he left the LAPD in 1997 after an unsuccessful bid for the chief’s job awarded to Parks.
Also Wednesday, former LAPD Deputy Chief Rick Dinse, now the chief in Salt Lake City, said he would be interested in the job.
