Please see statement below from Mayor Madeline Rogero on Gov. Haslam’s appointment of Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch as Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
“Chief Rausch has been an exemplary police chief and community leader in Knoxville. Congratulations to him on this well-deserved appointment! I am grateful for his decades of service to our city.
I will immediately begin the process of selecting his successor.
As a first step, I will meet individually with each of the four Deputy Chiefs to hear their insights on the department, what the priorities of the next police chief should be, and whether they are interested in being considered for the position.”
