Gov. Matt Blunt has appointed former anchorman Julius Hunter to the St. Louis Police Board.
"Julius Hunter has been a trusted and reliable friend to the St. Louis community for generations," Blunt said. "His unquestioned integrity and reputation as an honest and fair journalist will serve him well as a member of the St. Louis City Board of Police Commissioners and I am pleased he has agreed to serve the city and our state in this important position."
Hunter, 62 and a lifelong St. Louis resident, is vice president for Community Relations at Saint Louis University. Hunter worked as a news anchor and reporter for KMOV-TV Channel 4 for 28 years before joining the university in 2002. He has worked with the police department in the Do the Right Thing and the Crimestoppers programs. Hunter holds a bachelor's degree from Harris-Stowe State University.
Hunter's appointment is subject to Senate confirmation for a term ending on Jan. 31, 2010. He replaces Bartholomew Saracino whose term expired.
