Louisville Police Chief Transferring To Denver

{Louisville, Kentucky}... Louisville Police Chief Robert White has announced he is leaving the position he has held since 2003 to head the Denver Police Department. White, Louisville's first black police chief, came to the city from Greensboro, North Carolina in 2003. He oversaw the merger of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Louisville Police Department after the city and county governments merged. White, in a statement Friday, said the decision to leave Louisville was difficult, but he accomplished all that he could in the city. He's expected to be officially named chief in Denver next week. In the past year, White has been a finalist for the police chief job in Atlanta and Dallas.
