Williams made his views known at a meeting with representatives of the Command Officers Association, according to Cmdr. Maurice Moore, the association's president. Moore said he thanked the chief for supporting insider candidates but was surprised that the chief did not talk more about the possible transition and his efforts to keep his job during the meeting. ``We certainly offered the chief the opportunity to talk about it but he didn't,'' Moore said. Riordan, who has recommended Deputy Chief Bernard Parks for interim chief, said he believes insiders will be top contenders. ``I'm sure that an outsider can do the job if they're the right outsider,'' he said. ``But I also think we have tremendous talent in the LAPD.'' Sources say Riordan's favorite to become the next chief is Deputy Chief Mark Kroeker. ``That's out of somebody's head,'' Riordan said. ``I have nobody that I'm supporting at this time. Certainly, Kroeker, Bernie Parks and others are highly qualified. But we also have to look outside for the best candidate.'' |
