BALTIMORE — Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison on Wednesday announced a shakeup in the department's executive leadership.

Danny Murphy, the current Deputy Commissioner of the Compliance Bureau is departing.

He will be replaced by Deputy Commissioner Michael Sullivan of the Operations Bureau.
