Meet Portsmouth Police Chief Tonya Chapman

Chief Tonya Chapman is the new police chief in the city of Portsmouth. She's the first African American woman to hold the position. Her last job was Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, appointed by Governor McAuliffe in 2014. She joins the department at a time of racial strife in the city, low morale among police officers and a murder rate that continues to grow. On the next Another View we'll talk with Chief Chapman about her speciality in community policing and her plans to make Portsmouth a safer place to live, work, worship and play.
