There have been some mixed reactions about hiring De Sousa, some have spoken out in favor believing he could help make a difference, while others aren't convinced.
De Sousa has been leading the department for a little more than a month, but a big question for many is whether or not the 30-year-veteran can bring change to the police department.
So far he's spoken about plans to reorganize the department and says he has plans to reduce the violence in the city.
