police with information regarding
our members and their agencies. The
magazine is designed to inform and
inspire our members with articles

successes as well as offer updates and
information about the association.
The California Police Chief is part
of our mission of serving as the
voice of and resource of choice for
California’s municipal Police Chiefs.
We appreciate and encourage our
members and their agencies to submit
articles to be used in future issues of
California Police Chief, submissions can
