Shaker Heights Mayor David Weiss said in a statement that Hudson's background in law enforcement, commitment to community and inclusion and strong interpersonal communication skills were reasons he was chosen.
The Shaker Heights Police Department employs 68 sworn officers and 36 support and part-time personnel, according to the release. The city's outgoing police chief is retiring after 33 years with the department.
Hudson had been with the Sheriff's Office since 1994, when he joined as a reserve deputy sheriff, according to the release. He was hired full time in 1995 and rose through the ranks as a sergeant, lieutenant and captain.
