Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall announced her resignation Tuesday, the latest in a string of police chiefs to step down amid growing calls for police reform. Hall became Dallas' top cop after spending 18 years with the Detroit Police Department. During her time as chief, a Dallas police officer was convicted of murder for the shooting of her neighbor and the city grappled with an uptick in violent crime. Her departure is the latest in a series of police chief resignations in major cities across the country. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best recently left the force over efforts by city leaders to slash the police budget.
