ST. LOUIS Every chief owns the homicide rate.
That’s something St. Louis Chief John Hayden told me in a recent interview about the city’s crime rate.
On his watch, the city’s homicide rate has reached a per-capita record.
Now, his former chief, Dan Isom, is his boss.
I had the chance to ask Isom to take off his Interim Public Safety Director hat for just one minute and rewind the clock to 2008-2012 when he was serving as police chief.
And imagine he’s facing the same situation Hayden is.
The city’s homicide rate is an at all-time high.
Dan Isom, the former St. Louis Police Chief, will use a "collaborative approach," like the one that has state troopers helping to fortify dangerous I-70 stretch

ST. LOUIS Newly-elected St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones has named key members of her Public Safety team – and one of them will be making more money than her.
Former St. Louis Police Chief Dan Isom has been tapped as the Interim Public Safety Director – which means all of the city s public safety apparatus including the fire chief, police chief along with the Division of Corrections Commissioner and the Emergency Communications Division will answer to him.
To take on this task in the most violent city in the country, Isom will be paid $218,000 annually – the same salary as his predecessor, retired Judge Jimmie Edwards.
