CINCINNATI — We're getting a sneak peek at who could be the next leader of the Cincinnati Police Department.
According to public records, the city received 13 resumes from across the country and right here in the Tri-State for the department's open chief position.
CPD's current Interim Police Chief, Teresa Theetge is hoping to get the job. She took over command after former chief Eliot Isaac left earlier this year.
