The announcement was made March 31 Moss, currently supervises the Miami Police Department\u2019s Public Information\/Community Relations sections.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Ferguson received more than 54 applications from candidates across the United States. City Manager De\u2019Carlon Seewood, Assistant City Manager Matt Unrein and Human Resources Manager, Patrick Young narrowed the applications from 54 to 16, based on the following criteria \u2013 law enforcement experience, community engagement and professional accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>A 15-page Police Chief Questionnaire was then sent to the final 16 candidates on Jan. 25, with a deadline to respond by Feb. 8. The top six candidates were chosen based on their responses to the questionnaire.<\/p>\n<p>Moss was among the six candidates that were invited to interview locally with several panels that consisted of Ferguson residents, Ferguson City Council members, law enforcement executives and criminal justice experts. The panels narrowed the candidate pool from six to four. City Manager De\u2019Carlon Seewood made the final decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor Moss exemplifies the type of experience in law enforcement that we believe will enhance the many new programs within the Ferguson Police Department,\u201d said City Manager De\u2019Carlon Seewood. \u201cOur officers have worked extremely hard to implement community policing and community engagement in their daily practices. Mr. Moss is the right man for the job to continue those initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the past 32 years as Miami law enforcement officer, Moss has worked as a patrol officer, carried out a number of undercover assignments, and investigated countless violent crimes and death related incidents as a member of that department\u2019s elite Homicide Unit.<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2008, he was promoted to senior executive assistant to the chief of police making Moss, the Miami Police Department\u2019s Commander of Public Information and a main advisor to the chief of police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a long and strenuous process, but we believe Major Moss is the right choice,\u201d said Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III. \u201cWe understand the past 18 months have not been easy for everyone, but the city is now moving forward and we are excited to have Major Moss lead our police department.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0 Moss is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists, the NAACP, and Tender Essence Incorporated, whose mission is to combat issues such as teen pregnancy, the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and violence.
