From Mayor-elect Mike McGinn‘s transition team: They’re “restarting” the search for a new police chief and have announced the co-chairs of their search committee: Downtown Seattle Association President Kate Joncas and Charles Rolland, who leads Community and Parents for Public Schools of Seattle. The announcement says they’re talking to Mayor Greg Nickels‘ search-committee appointees “to see which of them wish to continue to serve with the new administration.” The search will resume with an organizational meeting next month; a recommendation is expected by May, by which time Acting Chief John Diaz will have served in the interim role for a full year.
