For the first time on Wednesday, Oakland residents will hear from their new police chief.

Besides a written statement, the public hasn't yet heard from Floyd Mitchell yet.Mayor Sheng Thao will formally introduce him at 1 p.m. at City Hall. She selected Mitchell from a slate of four candidates brought to her by the Oakland Police Commission, more than a year after she fired former Chief LeRonne Armstrong.It's been a long process to find his replacement, which included friction between Thao and some of the commissioners.

"The long vacancy of this critical position caused a real sense of lawlessness in Oakland, and we are glad to see that the city is finally moving forward," president Cynthia Adams wrote. "The NAACP Oakland branch welcomes Police Chief Floyd Mitchell and his family to the city of Oakland."Mitchell comes to Oakland from Texas, where he was most recently the police chief in Lubbuck for four years, and he was also the chief in Temple, Texas, as well.
