Houston City Council member Letitia Plummer joined Houston Matters to discuss what city leaders seek in a new police chief. On Wednesday, Mayor John Whitmire announced the retirement of Troy Finner as Houston Police Chief. The announcement came amid an investigation into thousands of cases suspended by an internal code that allowed them to be shelved due to a lack of personnel. "In my mind, someone that is data-driven, someone that understands the importance of community relationships, and making sure that they can take responsibility, lead and have a lot of transparency," she said. When residents see the budget that the police department has, Plummer said they expect to see results. "So, making sure whoever that chief is, making sure that they understand that the City of Houston needs to feel confident and understand that the transparency is there," she said.
