Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] An interim chief has been hired to lead the police department in Sanford, Fla., where the chief stepped aside amid criticism over his handling of the Trayvon Martin case.

The interim chief, Richard W. Myers, a former police chief in Colorado Springs, was hired after a national search that began in March. Mr. Myers will take over the chief’s duties by the end of the week, the city said in a statement on Tuesday.

The department has been led for the last month by Capt. Darren Scott, who served as acting chief after Chief Bill R. Lee Jr. stepped aside on March 22.

“We thank Captain Scott for his service to the city during these tumultuous times,” Norton N. Bonaparte Jr., the city manager, said in a statement. “He has been an exemplary leader. The city welcomes the leadership of Interim Chief Myers.”
