Things have been pretty quiet recently, at least publicly, in the search for a new Fort Worth Police Chief. But get ready for some news in the coming weeks.
Acting Chief Patricia Kneblick has been leading the department since former Chief Ralph Mendoza left in February.
Now, the word at City Hall is the city is preparing to fly in candidates from around the country for interviews. City Manager Dale Fisseler confirmed the plan to NBC 5 following a budget meeting Tuesday.
Fisseler said he hopes to complete the process by the end of September.
The city announced it would launch a national search when Mendoza left in February, but little has been said since.
There’s no indication where Kneblick, a 26-year veteran, stands in all this. It still appears very possible she could be named permanent chief, the first woman chief in the city’s history and one of the few female big-city police chiefs nationwide.
