At Tuesday’s Richmond City Council meeting City Manager Bill Lindsay announced that he has appointed Allwyn Brown to serve as the new Police Chief for the City of Richmond.

The new Chief--a 31 year veteran of the force and goes by ‘AB'--has been serving as Interim Police Chief since Chief Chris Magnus departed to serve as the new Police Chief in Tucson, Arizona.  Chief Brown served five years as a deputy chief and three years as a captain assigned to the Iron Triangle before being promoted to assistant chief last July.
