MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- We're learning more about who might step in following the sudden departure of Milwaukee's Community Wellness and Safety director.

Adam Procell stepped down after the city attorney determined that under the state constitution, a convicted felon cannot lead the department. 

Tuesday, Feb. 10, Mayor Cavalier Johnson named Karin Tyler to take over the department pending Common Council approval. 

Tyler was a finalist for the job last summer. She's spent nearly a decade working on the city's violence prevention efforts, including serving as interim director. 

Members of the public will have the opportunity to hear from Tyler at a community town hall meeting Thursday, Feb. 19, at The Missing Peace-Community Collective beginning at 6 p.m.
