10 AM: Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb to make 'public safety announcement'
Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb names Wayne Drummond new Cleveland Police Chief Bibb praised Drummond, calling him,"A public servant, not a politician."“When I started my career in the first district, I never envisioned I would be Chief of Police," Drummond said.
"I'm a progressive dinosaur," Drummond said in regards to approving ball caps, beards, and tattoos to be allowed in officers' uniforms. "Even Columbus, where you can make $106,000 as a patrol officer before overtime, is coming up here to recruit our officers," Drummond said."It’s no secret that we’ve lost officers in this last year."
“I’m a son of a cop, I talked a lot during my campaign about having a department my father would be proud of. Wayne shares a lot of those ideals,” Bibb said.
