Ferguson swears in first African-American police chief
- 8 years ago
Veteran Miami police officer Delrish Moss was sworn in today as the first black police chief of Ferguson, Missouri.
Moss is replacing Tom Jackson, who resigned last year after a Justice Department report cited racial bias in Ferguson’s criminal justice system.
After he was sworn in, Moss said it’s the department’s job to bring “nobility” back to police work.
He hopes to diversify the police department and increase the positive interactions between police and youth.
