Austin Has a New Police Chief. Is She Ready?

For the second time in history, a woman has been named as permanent chief of the Austin Police Department. And incoming Chief Lisa Davis will have her hands full, as she addresses staffing and recruitment issues, a department of officers working without a permanent contract, and more. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined today with Austin American-Statesman and KVUE Reporter Tony Plohetski, to discuss Davis’ appointment. Stay tuned for the debut of a special segment, A Mile in Their Boots, featuring a bonus interview with DJ Chorizo Funk, who’s been spinning tunes for Austin audiences for 15 years. We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Austin newsletter.
