Good morning, Chattanooga!
Yesterday, Mayor Tim Kelly named Celeste Murphy as his pick for the next Chattanooga police chief.
Pending approval by the city council, Murphy will be the first woman as well as the first Black woman to hold the position.
“Diversity is how you’re able to solve problems, because you have different perspectives, and that’s one of the things I said I wanted to bring to Chattanooga – a different perspective,” Murphy said. “It’s not always about something being totally wrong, or not working or it’s disastrous, it’s just about sometimes a fresh start, a new perspective, a new direction.”
