Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer announced today that the City’s search for an Interim Arcata Police Chief is still underway. The Interim Police Chief will replace Tom Chapman, who resigned on Tuesday, April 10.
“Interviews for an Interim Chief have been completed. The City’s top candidate is California based, but does not come from within the Arcata Police Department. Since the candidate is not currently employed with APD, we have initiated a full law enforcement background review of the candidate.
Police level background checks can take up to four weeks to complete, and based on the time it takes for this process, we hope to have an Interim Chief in place by June,” said City Manager Karen Diemer of the hiring process.
Lieutenant Bart Silvers, who has served the Arcata Police Department for sixteen years, is serving as Acting Chief of Police until an Interim Chief is named.
More information will be announced as it becomes available.
