“I’ve worked in uniformed patrol. I’ve worked in investigations and organized crime. I’ve even worked undercover,” he said.
Armstrong also shed light on his plans for the department.
“Obviously there will be some units that I will have to reevaluate. I won’t sit here today and say there will be absolutely no changes, but I also won’t sit here and say there won’t be sweeping changes,” he said.
The new director stated that he wants everything to be upfront and transparent.
