A new police chief for the city of Fort Pierce.
City commissioners give unanimous approval to the hiring of David Smith, a former commander with the Prince William County Police Department in Virginia.
City Manager Richard Chess selected Smith from a list of three finalists last week and presented his choice to the Commission this morning.
Today's vote was unanimous.
Smith replaces former Chief Diane Hobley-Burney, who stepped down in May after a department survey revealed deep frustration among the ranks about a variety of things.
