CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – The next leader of the Charleston Police Department will become official Tuesday.
The Charleston city council will vote to confirm Chito Walker’s new role as police chief.

He was serving as Deputy Chief of the Procedural Justice and Community Policing Bureau before being named Interim Chief of Police in July.
