Police Chief

WASPC (Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs)

Police Chief

The City of Vancouver is seeking a Police Chief for Washington's fourth-largest city, a vibrant and growing community of 200,000 located across the Columbia River from Portland. As one of the oldest cities in the state, Vancouver features a unique mix of historic heritage and revitalized urban areas offering the excitement of a major metropolitan area along with small-town charm and family-friendly neighborhoods.

The City of Vancouver operates under a Council-Manager form of government with a 2027-28 biennial budget of $2.3 billion and 1,430 full-time equivalent positions. The City Manager's Office leads 12 departments: City Attorney, Communications, Community Development, Economic Prosperity & Housing, Financial & Management Services, Fire, General Services, Human Resources, Engagement & Access, Police, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation, & Cultural Services.

The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is a full-service, 24-hour municipal police agency operating across 51.84 square miles in Southwest Washington. The Department operates with a budget of $85 million and is authorized for 254 sworn personnel and 57.5 professional staff positions. VPD handles approximately 115,000 dispatched incidents annually and provides comprehensive police services through its Patrol Bureau, Investigations Division, Special Operations Division, and Administrative Bureau.

This position offers an opportunity to lead a professional, dedicated workforce and partner effectively with the community to ensure continued exceptional service delivery in one of Washington State's largest cities. The Vancouver Police Department enjoys strong support from the community and the City's elected and administrative officials. The next Police Chief will benefit from increased resources from the State of Washington and a local public safety sales tax to support additional staffing for this fast-growing community. The Chief will also have an opportunity to help advance plans for a new police headquarters and expansion of the Neighborhood Police Officer program.
