Has been confirmed internally.

I didn't know Tom Selleck was up for the job...

I was told by other LAPD officers that he is a good man for the job.

I have known Charlie Beck for a long time. We have raced motocross against each other for the last 20+ years. He is a stand up guy and has not forgotten his roots. He is a fine man and I'm sure he will do fine as the Chief.

I know nothing about the man, but I doubt that he could do worse than Williams or Parks.
