    Published October 22 2014

    The city today announced the finalists to be the city's next police chief: Minneapolis Assistant Police Chief Matthew Clark; Bellevue Deputy Police Chief Jim Jolliffe; Simi Valley, Calif. Police Chief Mitch McCann; Seattle Assistant Police Chief Nicholas Metz; and Austin, Texas Assistant Police Chief Raul Munguia. The candidates' bios are available on the police chief recruitment page.

    Meet the finalists at a reception on Thursday, October 23 at City Hall (450 110th Ave. NE). A resource fair will be at City Hall the same evening.

    • Police Chief Finalist Reception: 6-7 p.m., in Room 1E-112. An opportunity for the public to meet the finalists to be Bellevue's next police chief.
    • Resource Fair: 5:30-7 p.m., on the first-floor concourse. This free event will feature more than 20 programs and work groups representing a variety of city services.

    Police Chief Finalist Reception
    Following a nationwide recruitment by an executive search firm, the finalists for police chief will meet with the public. Input from staff, residents, local businesses and other stakeholders was collected at community meetings and via an online survey, before the city posted the position in August.

    In addition to the reception, panels, which include staff, will interview the finalists over the week of October 20. The finalists have not yet been named. City Manager Brad Miyake will appoint the new chief. The hope is to have a new chief on board by early 2015.

    Former Bellevue Police Chief Jim Montgomery has been serving as the interim police chief since Linda Pillo retired in April, after seven years as chief.

    City of Bellevue Resource Fair
    What can you do if the dog next door is disturbing your sleep? How do you prepare an emergency kit in case of a disaster? Where are the public art installations located in Bellevue? How does your neighborhood get a new sign?

    You’ll find the answers to these questions, as well as a ton of other useful information from experts, and from written materials, at the Bellevue Resource Fair. Among those who will attend the event are members of the current Bellevue Essentials class -- designed for participants to learn about city government from key staff, neighborhood leaders, decision makers, elected officials and community leaders -- but the general public also is invited to attend.

    Resource Fair participating programs will include Neighborhood Outreach, Mediation, Youth Link, Home Repair, the Arts Program, Emergency Preparedness, Network on Aging, Block Watch, East Link, Code Compliance, Probation Division, and more. Community partners such as King County Libraries, Eastside Heritage Center and the Bellevue Downtown Association also will be on hand.

    For more information, contact Julie Ellenhorn in Neighborhood Outreach, 425-452-5372 or jellenhorn@bellevuewa.gov.
