Posted on by

How about a California person who has been on the streets and targets criminals and would shrug off political fuss? Also be golf cart certified.

city manager Matt Mogensen told The Pine Cone Monday that the city intends to gather feed-back from citizens about the person who will replace Madalone, whose last day is Oct. 12. “We are looking at putting out a survey to residents and stakeholders for input on what they value in the next police chief,”

Local police chiefs and other law enforcement experts will be interviewed to “best gauge” if a candidate “is well suited to meet the needs, culture and character of the community,” he said.

As dual-city Police Chief Vicki Myers shifts her focus back to Seaside, Pacific Grove is beginning its search for an interim police chief.

Myers, who served as police chief in Seaside and Pacific Grove since 2012, was given a 90-day notice over the weekend that Pacific Grove will terminate its contract with Seaside pertaining to Myers running its police department.

Frutchey also cited two “no-confidence” votes by the Pacific Grove police union and a citywide survey that found residents would like to keep its own separate police department as reasons for the city moving on from Myers.

It is too bad that there’s no local candidates for police chief and we need to resort to part time with Seaside.

Since Myers took over both police departments, under a cost-saving contract with the city of Seaside, police union leadership in both cities have denounced her leadership style, adding that her “intimidation tactics” have crippled morale in both departments.

“Given our second vote of ‘no-confidence’ we feel like this is a good direction for our police department and the city to take,” Renfro said.

There have also been calls to investigate what some say is a hostile work environment, including a complaint last year involving seven of her employees in Seaside alleging “inappropriate physical contact” in separate occasions, one employee claiming she was punched by Myers, according to Frank Martin of the Seaside Police Officers Association.
