Full Notification

I am very pleased to announce my planned retirement date with you.  It has been an honor to serve the citizens and visitors of Arroyo Grande for the past 26 years as a public servant.  My final day serving as your Chief of Police will be on Thursday, July 9, 2020. 

My planned retirement will allow me to spend more quality time with family and friends.  I have committed the last 4 years mentoring two Police Commanders for this moment.  They are actively engaged in a competitive process and one of them will be chosen to lead this organization into the future.  Lastly, this succession plan will create promotional opportunities throughout every rank within the department, which is exciting for the membership and it brings new leadership throughout the ranks.

I am very appreciative for all of the support that has been provided to me, my family and all of the outstanding members of your Arroyo Grande Police Department!
