Membership Update
By Craig Steckler, Retired Chief, Membership Liason
Serving as the voice of and resource of choice
for California’s municipal Police Chiefs,
is not only our association’s mission statement, it is something
that the staff and volunteers live up to. Cal Chiefs continues to
grow and offer expanded services and information to remain
the resource of choice for our members.
Succession planning is important now, more than ever.
Now is the time to consider having your seconds- in
-command join Cal Chiefs. Today’s seconds-in-command
are the future leaders of tomorrow’s police departments.
As police chiefs we have the responsibility to develop and
mentor our seconds-in-command so they are prepared to
become tomorrow’s police chiefs. Membership for seconds
in command is only $125 per year. More information and
a membership application can be found on our website at
www.californiapolicechiefs.org.
Since the last membership update we have had the
pleasure of welcoming 17 new chiefs. The names and
agencies of the new chiefs are listed below. Please help me
in welcoming them all. ■
