Originally published March 14, 2005, 8:35 PM EST The Baltimore City Council voted unanimously yesterday to approve the nomination of Acting Police Commissioner Leonard D. Hamm to be the city's permanent police chief. Several council members voiced support of Hamm, 55, who became acting chief in November after the firing of his predecessor, Kevin P. Clark. "After this vote, the hard part begins," said Councilman Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr., an 11th District Democrat. "We in government must allow Commissioner Hamm to do his job." Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke praised Hamm for reaching an agreement last week with the police union on the terms of retirement for officers injured in the line of duty, saying she supported the Baltimore native and 22-year department veteran "for that reason and many more." "Commissioner Hamm has let majors run their districts," she said. "He is not micromanaging." The full council's vote followed the unanimous March 2 vote of the council's executive nominations committee in favor of Hamm's nomination. Hamm will be Mayor Martin O'Malley's fourth police commissioner since 1999. The City Council today appointed Leonard Hamm police commissioner, a post he has held as a temporary measure since November. Hamm, a 22-year city police veteran, retired as a major in 1996 over a dispute with a supervisor.

Hamm recently faced scrutiny on questions about his personal financial dealings. He filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in September 1997. Just days before, he had been awarded a raise -- during a public meeting -- to $64,260. But in his filing, Hamm failed to disclose that he would soon have a substantial increase in income. Instead, he reported an annual salary of $28,000. Officials believed that his monthly take-home pay was less than his monthly expenses. The bankruptcy allowed him to shed $21,300 in debt. Hamm has said he was unaware of the raise when he filed for bankruptcy. For more about Balti-$hit:
