Thank you to those who attended the Oct. 30 police chief candidate forum. The City is currently evaluating feedback from the forum and from panel interviews conducted in October. The City Manager will announce his decision later in November.
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.
