The /*Newark*/ City Council approved the re-establishment of the police chief position Wednesday, and Mayor Cory Booker named veteran officer /*Sheilah Coley*/ to fill the job.
Coley's appointment still must be confirmed by the council.
The police chief post was eliminated three years ago under former Police Director Garry McCarthy.
The council also was also expected to vote Wednesday to confirm acting Police Director Samuel DeMaio, who will be Coley's boss.
