Ferguson’s interim police chief Andre Anderson has announced his resignation, effective Dec. 2, about two months before he was scheduled to leave.
Anderson, who served as Ferguson’s first Black chief of police, signed a six-month contract with the Ferguson Police Department at the end of July. At the time he had expressed a possible interest in taking over the position full time but was more focused on what he could do during the six months his contract allotted. His goal was to reunite the police with the community and to begin implementing much-needed changes in the city as suggested by a Department of Justice analysis of the city’s practices.
