WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. By John F. Bailey. December 29, 2005: It has been four weeks since Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety, David Chong, left the Department of Public Safety for personal reasons.  The Department has no immediate plans to replace him, according to his counterpart, Dr. Charles Jennings, the remaining Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety.

Jennings said the department is covering Mr. Chong's duties with present staff taking up the slack. Mr. Chong, Jennings said previously supervised operations and other responsibilities, but those duties are now being handled by present supervisors distributing the workload. Asked if the position was going to be filled internally, Commissioner Jennings said that was "premature." Asked if a national search to replace Mr. Chong was underway, Mr. Jennings said no. Asked when and if Mr. Chong would be replaced, Jennings had no comment.
