Salary Range For Next Police Chief Revealed

Published on Monday, May 16, 2022 | 5:22 am
 

Pasadena’s next police chief will make at least $233,525.00, according to a description on governmentjobs.com

The salary is in line with other police chiefs across the region.

The city has been without a full-time police chief since early January when Police Chief John Perez left the city. 

The city is expected to soon post the job as it gears up to interview qualified candidates. However the position will not be filled until the City Council chooses the next City Manager. In turn, the City Manager will select the next police chief.

The City Council is expected to begin interviewing City Manager candidates in June. 

Former Cmdr. Jason Clawson will hold the position until the next chief is chosen. Clawson and Deputy Chief Cheryl Moody were chosen to rotate into the position as interim chiefs.

Moody completed her time as chief in May. 

The police chief oversees a police department that includes a more than $90 million budget, 234 sworn officers, and 120 civilian employees, including part-time workers. There are also 140 active volunteers.

The next chief will face his share of critics even before he starts the job.

Some local residents have called out on the City Council to cut the police budget and redistribute the funds to other departments. The department is currently undertaking an administrative investigation into the actions of a police officer that fatally shot 31-year-old Anthony McClain during a police stop.

That investigation will only determine if the officer adhered to department policy. L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón cleared the officer of wrongdoing last month.

The chief also oversees security at high profile events, including the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game.
