Antioch council considers if they should choose police chief
Should the Antioch City Council hire the city’s next police chief or should the city manager make the appointment as has been done in the past?
But by 2022, the FBI and District Attroney’s investigation of East County police officers was underway and it was clear a permanent chief was needed as soon as possible to replace Chief Tammany Brooks who had relocated to Idaho in late 2021. At a council meeting in April, Smith pointed out that city councils “are granted wide latitude in deciding how a city will be administered and operated” and under government code, has the authority to appoint and remove a police chief.
The mayor said in the past the city managers have said the police departments “just do their own thing,” but in light of what’s happened with the culture of Antioch’s police department and the FBI current investigation of some of the city’s police, “it’s not an acceptable answer.”
