DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A former Des Moines police chief says he thinks the next person in the job should advocate for the use of body cameras and speak more with residents.  Bill Moulder was Des Moines’ police chief between 1984 and 2003, and he now runs a police management consulting firm. He tells The Des Moines Register that in a post-Ferguson climate, the police chief should support the use of body cameras.

Police departments around the country have purchased the devices following the August fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer.  Judy Bradshaw retired in October after seven years as Des Moines’ police chief. Four finalists for the job will be in the city next week to interview with city officials.
