Robert Tracy, the police chief in Wilmington, Delaware, was recognized for reducing gun violence there, but was also criticized for racial tensions and a lack of diversity in the department.
Local leaders on Wednesday said they looked forward to working the city's new police chief, Robert Tracy, but also expressed concerns about his professional history and 51ºÚÁÏ' high-profile policing issues.
