Veteran police officer Mike Alexander, who has worked with local, state and other agencies for more than 30 years, will take the interim post as Palestine's new chief of police, according to KLTV.com.

He will bring a lot of experience to the position and will try to rework a department in shambles after the dismissal of former chief Robert Herbert.

A date has not yet been announced for when Alexander will take over.
