Norwood praised as patient, sincere as Richmond police chief
November 8, 2009 | Virginia News
Bryan T. Norwood entered an awkward political environment when he started as Richmond's police chief just over a year ago.
Norwood, the former police chief in Bridgeport, Conn., had been selected by outgoing Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder, and he started as chief the day before the election of a new mayor, Dwight C. Jones, who had called for the appointment to be left to the new administration.
In a recent interview, Jones said he's found Norwood to be creative and a hard worker, and said he's "doing a good job."
Norwood sees Richmond as a place to stay.
