Davis Confirmed As Permanent Commissioner Amid Protests

Kevin Davis has been sworn in as Baltimore's permanent police commissioner by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

Davis, the interim commissioner until the City Council voted to confirm him hours earlier, was met with cheers as he took his oath at a community meeting Monday evening.

Beforehand, Davis and Rawlings-Blake held a news conference to address an activists' protest that erupted after the vote. The protesters, some of whom were arrested after a sit-in at City Hall late last week, said they remained frustrated even after Davis met with them Sunday and agreed to 19 demands, including a policy for how police treat protesters.

Davis said he thought the meeting was "productive" and that he admired the commitment of the young activists.
