On February 4th at 9:00 a.m., members of the Redwood City community gathered at the City Council Chambers to propose and elect candidates for the next Police Chief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Manager Melissa Stevenson Diaz led the meeting in person and virtually, where participants asked questions and gave their opinions about the characteristics that the next person to take office should have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main points discussed revolved around the following questions: What are the most important qualities that the next Chief of Police should have? What is going well with the Redwood City Police Department? What are the main concerns surrounding the Redwood City Police Department? And are there any special considerations that the next Chief of Police should meet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the questions of the participants, doubts arose such as if certain surveys have been carried out in the past or if said opening to the community has been carried out in different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, it was specified that some of the characteristics that candidates for the position of Police Chief must have are that they have the experience and leadership skills, that they are capable of dealing with moments of crisis and that they also inspire respect, and that they have sufficient emotional maturity and intelligence to deal with the great diversity that the Redwood City community implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That process, Stevenson Diaz said, will take a few more months, so he hopes that by late spring Redwood City will be in a position to have a new Police Chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is the community survey available online<\/a> or in person at City Hall, the Downtown Library (1044 Middlefield Road), Schaberg Branch Library (2140 Euclid Avenue), Redwood Shores Branch Library (399 Marine Parkway), Veterans Memorial Senior Center (1455 Madison Avenue), the Community Activities Building (1400 Roosevelt Avenue) and the Fair Oaks Community Center (2600 Middlefield Road). The survey is available in English and Spanish and closes at 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
