Indianapolis Police Chief Randal Taylor says he will step down at the end of the year after four years in charge and will take another role within the department. Taylor posted a video Friday saying that he had planned to serve as chief for two more years, but that after reflecting on the toll the job has taken, he doesn’t think he could last that long. He says he consulted with Mayor Joe Hogsett, who told him he should step down at the end of the year. Taylor called the mayor’s decision “an answer to a prayer." He says he will remain with the department for another 18 months and will work with crime victims’ families.
