The commissioners voted unanimously to reappoint Donohue at their last meeting on Apr. 3, said Commission Vice Chairman Cha Thompson.
The announcement came as Donohue was about to preside over a promotion ceremony for a number of the department's senior officers.
"We just decided that it would give him time to select people to work with. We knew that this was coming, we knew that he was going to be promoting his other officers," Thompson said.
Donohue promoted Maj. Glen Kajiyama to second deputy chief, Maj. Karl Godsey to Assistant Chief of the Support Services Bureau and Maj. Paul Putzulu to Assistant Chief of the newly created Executive Bureau.
