Cameron City Council named Carlton Scott interim police chief Monday.
The decision is just one week after current Chief Lonnie Gosch resigned to practice law with his son.
City Manager Ricky Tow says the council picked Scott from a list of names.
"It's a seamless transition we're hoping. Hopefully, the officers take that as well," he said. "The citizens, you know, this is just another step in our process we go through, you know, we hate to see employees leave and stuff, but in the same token, the city must go on."
