Robert Tracy has been praised for reducing gun violence in Wilmington but criticized for a lack of diversity in the police force and tension between officers and minority residents.
ST. LOUIS — The police chief of Wilmington, Delaware, who has been nationally recognized for his efforts to reduce gun violence, will become the new chief of the St. Louis police department.
Jones said Tracy will be the first police chief selected from outside the St. Louis police department. He will begin his new job on Jan. 9. “I promise you there will be a transparent plan that will be out there, but I have to get out and look under the hood to make sure that I see what’s going on and I know the issues that are here,” Tracy said.
“He changed the department,” Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki told the Post-Dispatch. “He changed the culture entirely. He’s been a great chief. You can take the number of detractors he has and put it in a thimble, and he’s got an enormous number of supporters because he worked really hard, and he’s reduced crime dramatically.”
FILE - Former President Donald Trump recognized Tracy during his State of the Union address in 2019 for his work in Wilmington, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
