Former interim police chief takes St. Catherine’s post

Teresa P. Gooch, who twice served as Richmond's interim police chief, has been named director of security at St. Catherine's School.

Gooch ended a 26-year career with the Richmond Police Department with her retirement in 2005, shortly after the city hired Rodney Monroe as its police chief.

Prior to that, Gooch served as a deputy chief and twice assumed the role of interim chief, from January 2002 to August of that year, and again from December 2004 to February 2005.

Gooch will oversee all security measures and coordinate the crisis plan at St. Catherine's, an all-girls school in Richmond's West End.
