Former Battle Ground Police Chief James McDaniel is in the running for the top position at the Dallas,Texas, Police Department.
McDaniel is one of 10 people who have applied for the position, and additional applicants are expected, according to the city.
Battle Ground City Manager Dennis Osborn fired McDaniel in December, citing a desire to take the department in a new direction.
Dallas city officials hope to hire a chief by April, when its current police chief retires, according to the city’s spokesman.
