AUSTIN, Texas — Lisa Davis is now officially the chief of police for the Austin Police Department (APD).
The new chief was sworn in on Monday during an official ceremony, roughly five weeks after she started her first day on the job.
Davis previously worked as assistant chief for the Cincinnati Police Department, serving with the organization for more than 30 years.
She was chosen for her new role by Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax in August, along with a unanimous decision from the Austin City Council.
Davis took on her job at the start of September, becoming the city's second-ever woman police chief.
Ahead of Davis' swearing-in ceremony, former Police Chief Robin Henderson served in an interim role.
Davis spent several weeks training to become certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) before taking on her position on Monday.
