Yvette Gentry, the former police chief of Louisville, has been selected to lead the Rochester Police Department, taking the reins of a department that has faced criticism and controversy in recent years. Gentry's appointment comes as Rochester continues to grapple with issues of police-community relations and reform efforts aimed at addressing systemic racism and police misconduct.
