“#Rochester names first female chief after protests<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n NEW YORK \u2013 The mayor of Rochester, New York named the city\u2019s first female police chief on Saturday, weeks after firing the previous chief amid protests over the death of a Black man in police custody.<\/p>\n

Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan, a top official at the Rochester Housing Authority who previously served as a city police officer for more than 20 years, takes over as interim head of the police department on Oct. 14, Mayor Lovely Warren said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first woman to serve in this role, I am confident she will bring a different perspective and instill a fresh app<\/a>roach to policing, which are very much needed in our city at this particular time,\u201d Warren said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The mayor fired the last chief, La\u2019Ron Singletary, on Sept. 14 as racial justice demonstrations boiled over the department\u2019s handling of the asphyxiation death in March of Daniel Prude, 41, who was having a psychotic episode when he was arrested.<\/p>\n

Warren also suspended without pay for 30 days two city officials amid questions about a possible cover-up of the events around Prude\u2019s death, and has called for a federal investigation into whether Prude\u2019s civil rights were violated.<\/p>\n

Video footage, released by Prude\u2019s family, showed officers using a mesh hood and pinning him to the pavement, in a scene reminiscent of George Floyd\u2019s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody.<\/p>\n

Seven Rochester police officers involved in the arrest were suspended on Sept. 3. The medical examiner ruled Prude\u2019s death a homicide by asphyxiation, with the drug PCP a contributing factor.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
