The 901: Memphis has new police chief; pipeline vote delayed again
Happy Cinco de Mayo from Memphis where the weather has moved out leaving a cooler but beautifully sunny day in the Bluff City today.
During her confirmation hearings Tuesday, Davis faced questions about the potential time limit on her tenure. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, who appointed Davis, is term-limited and will leave the office at the end of 2023.
The new police chief said she hoped the initial 2½ years of her tenure would be so successful that the next mayor would feel a need to keep her on the job.
Her first day as Memphis chief will be June 14. She will make $230,037.60, the same as her predecessor Mike Rallings.
