Controversy surrounds new Long Beach police chief pick
Carl Calkins, 42, longtime LAPD veteran, takes over as acting Long Beach police chief amid internal disputes and an ongoing internal affairs review. He left Carson two weeks ago after serving as community safety director. Creighton moved up his start date to Aug 1 due to tension among deputy chiefs and Chief Koriz being on guard. Calkins says the move reflects ongoing law enforcement challenges and aims to build a new, participative organization in Long Beach. He notes his Long Beach roots and believes the department offers a path to becoming chief sooner here than in Los Angeles.
