Garcetti’s nomination, Deputy Chief Kristin Crowley, would be the first woman to lead the department if confirmed.
The official announcements, both of Terrazas’s retirement and Crowley’s nomination, are expected at a 9 a.m. event on Tuesday. Garcetti and City Council President Nury Martinez will be in attendance.
