Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch has applied to be the next director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Rausch is one of 44 people who have applied for the position.
Rausch has been with KPD for 25 years, starting in patrol and moving up the ranks. The TBI director’s position provides a unique opportunity in which Chief Rausch believes he can make a positive impact for law enforcement throughout the state.
The final decision is up to the governor, but the nominating commission is met for the first time Wednesday.
