He is a former FBI agent, prison warden and state director of public safety. Randolph has announced plans to open storefront police offices in the hope of improving communications between the city's authorities and its deeply mistrustful blacks.

Since the beginning of last year, 31 people have been wounded, two killed. Only last week...
