A panel of state legislators is expected to vote on a new term for the chief of South Carolina's state police force.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday is expected to vote in favor of a new term for State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel.
Keel took over the state's top law enforcement agency last year when former U.S. Attorney Reggie Lloyd stepped down. The agency is tasked with helping local law enforcement agencies, investigating crimes and serves as the hub for the state's homeland security operations.
The full Senate voted 33-0 last summer to let Keel finish Lloyd's term. If eventually confirmed by the full Senate, this would be Keel's first full term in the top slot.
