There are now five finalists for the City of St. Paul's police chief position.

"Selecting a police chief is one of the most critical decisions a community must make," Mayor Melvin Carter said. "While I look forward to learning more about all of the finalists, our City is blessed to be served by a department with such strong internal candidates."

On Monday, the Police Chief Examining Committee -- headed by Kathy Lantry and Sasha Cotton -- advanced five candidates, nearly all of which have connections to the St. Paul Police Department.
