Finalist for Vancouver's next Police Chief to participate in forum

October 21, 2024

As part of the search for Vancouver's next police chief, the City is hosting a forum on Wednesday, Oct. 30 for community members to meet finalist Interim Police Chief Troy Price. View Price's bio on the Police Chief recruitment page.

During this moderated discussion, the candidate will answer questions submitted by the audience and from a recent online survey.

"The police chief is one of the community's most visible and impactful positions. It is important to hear about the community's expectations for and the qualities desired in the next chief," said City Manager Lon Pluckhahn. "The input we gather throughout the search process will continue our commitment to increasing transparency, inclusion, and innovation in law enforcement."
