As the Los Angeles Police Commission begins asking the public what the city needs in its next police chief, the city Personnel Department has created an Internet survey to expand opportunities for feedback.

The survey can be viewed at www.lacity.org/PER. Visitors to the site can click on to a link at the bottom, left-hand side of the page. The site asks the public to rate different qualities they want to see in the next chief. Questions include integrity, leadership skills, recognition of the job's requirements and experience.

The Personnel Department will forward the findings to the Police Commission after Sept. 17.

Police Chief William Bratton has submitted his resignation effective Oct. 31 to give the Police Commission and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa time to select a successor.

The commission began a series of community hearings on Wednesday to learn directly from the public what it wants to see.
