ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners is close to naming a new chief.

The public could learn as early as Monday, after the board meets. The board has narrowed the list of finalists to eight, all internal candidates.

The board is seeking a replacement for Joe Mokwa, who retired this summer during a federal investigation into a towing lot scandal involving the department.
