Bill Bratton Loves Chilling in the Hamptons

Los Angles Police chief William Bratton holds his last press conference as replacement candidates Deputy Chief Michel Moore (2nd L), Deputy Chief Charlie Beck and Assistant Police Chief Jim McDonnell (R) look on outside the new Police Administration Building on October 28, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Bratton steps aside at the end of this week after a nearly seven-year tenure to take an international security job in the private sector. Deputy Chief Michael Downing, who did not apply for Bratton's job, will take over as interim chief until a final decision is made on the three finalists.
