The Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners approved the appointment of Travis Thompson as an acting detective.
Interim Chief Traylor summarized Thompson's qualifications, saying Thompson has years of experience and prior detective work with the Anderson Police Department, and added, "I have no doubts in my mind that Travis is more capable of stepping in this role." The board reviewed Thompson's resume and approved the recommendation by voice vote; the transcript does not record a numerical roll-call tally.
