Henrico, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Henrico has named its new police chief, just a week before current Chief Humberto Cardounel retires. Eric English is currently Chief of Police in Harrisonburg.
English served in the Richmond Police Department, including as deputy chief, for nearly 30 years before moving to Harrisonburg. He still owns property in the East End of Henrico.
English joins the department just as the county is debating a civilian review board, amid calls for more police reform. English declined to take a position on the creation of a board, saying he needed more information.
