The search for Selma’s next police chief will continue for several more weeks as members of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee work to establish a process for vetting the 11 candidates who have applied for the position.

During a meeting in council chambers Thursday, committee members estimated they would need about three weeks to review the applicants and narrow the field. Interim Police Chief Michael Perry agreed to continue leading the Selma Police Department until a new chief is selected.

Todd and Cindy talk about the chief search in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
