ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — The RPD union says it's ready to work with the new interim police chief. Over the weekend, Mayor Lovely Warren named former lieutenant Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan as the new head of the RPD.

She starts on Oct. 14. 

Herriott-Sullivan takes over a department in turmoil. Seven officers are suspended over the death of Daniel Prude. The entire command staff is gone by this week and the RPD's data shows a person gets shot in Rochester on average almost every single day.
