Join the City for a candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Evergreen Public Schools Administrative Services Center, 13413 NE LeRoy Haagen Memorial Drive, Vancouver, WA 98684.
During this moderated discussion, the candidate will answer questions submitted through the recent police chief survey and questions from the audience.
All community members are welcome to attend. If you need accommodations to help you participate in the forum, please contact William Cooley at william.cooley@cityofvancouver.us or 360-624-0718.
Community safety through policing is one of the most important, complex and nuanced services the City provides. This is especially true in recent years, as equity in policing continues to be a community priority, demand for police services grows and the public considers Proposition 4, the Police Services Levy.
With the impending retirement of our current Chief, Vancouver has an opportunity to continue its legacy of community-oriented, inclusive, and innovative police leadership.
The City is conducting an internal recruitment, which allows us to build on our established foundation while promoting trust, accountability and stability within the department. Internal candidates will bring deep institutional knowledge and a proven commitment to our community.
