Mayor taps Pigtown native to succeed Harrison

The mayor announced he is turning to Deputy Commissioner Richard Worley, a BPD veteran of more than 24 years, as Harrison's replacement. Worley will serve as acting commissioner until he goes through the confirmation process within the Baltimore City Council. He has had a meteoric rise in the BPD; his LinkedIn page lists six job promotions since 2018. And if Thursday's news conference was any indication, Worley has Harrison's blessing for his biggest promotion yet. Harrison said he has full confidence in Worley.
