The Oakland Police Commission unanimously recommended four candidates for police chief to Mayor Libby Schaaf on Thursday.
The commission originally presented the finalists — Oakland Deputy Chief LeRonne Armstrong; interim Deputy Chief Drennon Lindsey; Pittsburgh Police Commander Jason Lando; and Seaside Police Chief Abdul Pridgen — during a candidate forum in early November, then requested more time to check into the background of each of the finalists.
Schaaf will review each candidate before choosing a chief in a process that is expected to take a few weeks, her office said.
