Results of two investigations into misconduct within the department won’t be made public until early July.
The Berkeley City Council has officially appointed Jen Louis as the city’s top cop — the first woman, Asian-American and openly gay person to lead Berkeley’s police department — despite controversy during her tenure and two pending misconduct investigations.
City officials, however insisted that Louis’ appointment be finalized, saying that continuing to delay the appointment of a police chief is negatively impacting public safety and the department’s recruitment and retention efforts. Louis’ annual base salary will be $301,820. She was suspended for five days by former police Chief Andrew Greenwood but successfully appealed that decision and was given a written reprimand instead.
“My focus and vision for the future of the Berkeley Police Department and the entire law enforcement profession are grounded in leaving a legacy that my children can see and be proud of,” Louis said Tuesday. “My appointment will ensure that the critical policies of fair and impartial policing as well as reimagining public safety continue to move forward.”
