4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim McDonnell, Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department:
"I still have gas in the tank, fire in the belly, if you will, and a desire to be able to try and be helpful. And hopefully I can take the experience that I have and be able to work with the men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department to be able to be a model if you will, for the rest of the nation on what can be done. And a big part of that is community engagement."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim McDonnell, Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department:
"We've been through a very rough period of time and we're looking to move past that. The way to move past that is to re-engage with the community in a different way maybe than we have traditionally- one that we talk about partnership, collaboration, transparency, inclusion. One that we can work together with our communities to make them safer."
7. The mayor and new police chief leave the press conference
STORYLINE:
A former county sheriff has been selected to lead the Los Angeles Police Department, taking charge of the nation's third-largest police force.
Mayor Karen Bass announced Friday the appointment of Jim McDonnell and said her choice was based on making Los Angeles safer.
The news follows the surprise retirement of Chief Michel Moore, whose tenure was marked by greater scrutiny into excessive force and police killings of civilians in the nation’s second-largest city.
A civilian board of Los Angeles police commissioners selected McDonnell out of three final candidates. He rose to second-in-command during his 29 years at the police department and served as chief of the Long Beach Police Department.
