Baltimore Council Decides on Police Commissioner
The City Council voted on whether Kevin Davis would stay on in longer term capacity.
The Baltimore City Council reportedly voted Monday to confirm Kevin Davis as the police commissioner.
Davis has been serving in interim capacity since the summer. He was named interim police commissioner in July after Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake released then commissioner Anthony Batts, calling his presence a “distraction” after April’s unrest.
