Daily News editorial praises LAPD Chief finalists

Ken Jeffries talks with Daily News Editorial Page Editor Mariel Garza, who says those in the top three--as recommended by the Police Commission--are terrific choices. They include Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell, and Deputy Chiefs Charlie Beck and Michel Moore.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is expected to announce his choice tomorrow. It then goes to the City Council for final approval. The next chief replaces William Bratton, whose last day on the job was yesterday.
Bratton is taking a job with the private sector.
