MELVINDALE – The Public Safety commission voted 4-0 on Jan. 9 to replace Police Chief Dan Jones, who retires Feb. 4, with Lt. Robert Kennaley.
Public Safety Commission Chair Jeff Bolton said Lt. Nicholas Martinez also was a candidate for police chief, but he declined the nomination.
Kennaley, who supported newly elected Mayor Nicole Shkira during her campaign, reportedly received the mayor’s endorsement for the top spot.
