San Diegans can provide input through online survey and community forums

 

SAN DIEGO – As the City of San Diego launches its nationwide search for a new Chief of Police, community members are invited to take an online survey to share their opinions about the qualities and characteristics they wish to see in the City’s next law enforcement leader.

“Choosing who will lead the police department will directly impact the public safety of all San Diegans,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “For this reason, City Councilmembers and I hope all community members will express their needs and desires so that we can best select the appropriate candidate for this sensitive and important role.”  

The process to hire a new Chief of Police, outlined in Council Policy 300-08, calls for the Mayor to appoint a candidate to be confirmed by San Diego City Council.
