Two promotions were announced Tuesday by Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore.
Commander Blake Chow was promoted to Deputy Chief for the LAPD’s Transit Services Bureau, overseeing the four traffic divisions and safety and security for Metropolitan Transit Authority bus and rail lines within LA city limits. Chow is a 29-year veteran of the LAPD.
Central Area Captain Marc Reina was promoted to Commander to fill Chow’s former position at the helm of the Information Technology Group. Reina will lead efforts to revitalize the LAPD’s aging technological infrastructure. He has been with the LAPD more than 20 years.
Both promotions will be effective in March.
