New North Providence Police Chief Tikoian Talks About Fresh Start, Following Controversy

New North Providence Police Chief David Tikoian, who was sworn in on Tuesday, spoke to GoLocal's Kate Nagle about taking the helm of a beleaguered department and putting it in a new direction. 

Tikoian, who served in the state police for 23 years before retiring in 2015, was appointed after then-Acting North Providence Police Chief Christopher Pelagio was suspended with pay in July after a reported altercation with a Cranston police officer.
