Mayor-President Kip Holden named Charles Mondrick the interim Baton Rouge police chief at a press conference Thursday.
Mondrick, deputy chief of the Central Fire Department who was previously a uniform commander and hostage negotiator with the Baton Rouge Police Department, will take office when Chief Jeff LeDuff’s resignation takes effect Dec. 1.
A permanent replacement for LeDuff will be chosen through a national search, Holden said.
