City officials debate whether interim Police Chief Brian Manley should be named permanent chief without a national search. Mayor Adler backs Manley, while critics urge a public, transparent process with a diverse pool and community input amid Austin’s recent shootings and the Conditt case. Cronk weighs independence from council as he studies the department’s needs and charter options.
