City of Alameda selects Interim Chief of Police, begins recruitment process for new Chief
Randy Fenn will become the Interim Police Chief for the City of Alameda on Monday, October 5. Mr. Fenn retired earlier this year as the Chief of Police for the City of Fairfield. Fairfield has a population of approximately 117,000 and the community is one of the most racially diverse in the Bay Area.
Prior to serving with the City of Fairfield, Mr. Fenn held leadership positions with the Town of Truckee and City of Concord police departments. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Golden Gate University and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati.
The City has also hired a recruitment firm to guide the City in a recruitment process for a new Chief of Police. To guide that process, there will be a community outreach process to determine the qualities residents and businesses would like in the City’s next Police Chief.
“I look forward to working with Chief Fenn over the coming months,” stated City Manager Eric Levitt. “Chief Fenn’s commitment to partnering with and developing staff and his reputation as a proven leader and clear communicator will support the Department while we work together to hire a new Police Chief.”
Please join us in welcoming Interim Police Chief Randy Fenn to the City of Alameda.
