Soledad asks for public opinion for the next police chief via survey
SOLEDAD, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The selection process for the next Soledad Police Chief may lie in the hands of community members with a new community survey.
Those living in Soledad can take the survey to give their say on what they hope to see in the next chief.
Longtime Soledad Police Chief Damon Wasson retired after serving 17 years at the Soledad Police Department, a part of his 36 years in law enforcement.
The five-question survey includes questions such as what skills are critical for the role, what leadership they should possess, and how the Chief should engage with the community.
It is available online in English and Spanish along with physical copies at City Hall. The survey will end on April 4th.
Soledad Deputy Chief Fred Lombardi is the interim chief as the city determines its pick for the role.
