Jim McDonnell faces significant challenges as the next Los Angeles police chief, including union resistance, oversight scrutiny, and community mistrust from a history of adversarial policing.
Mayor Karen Bass highlighted McDonnell as an 'innovator' at his announcement, yet critics from his time as sheriff argue he may not implement the drastic changes some expect.
Despite his extensive experience as both LAPD chief and sheriff, McDonnell's critics believe his tenure may not yield the transformative reforms needed for the LAPD.
McDonnell's upcoming confirmation by the City Council may shed light on his plans to address the troubling relationships with both the community and law enforcement.
