The City Council is proud to announce that Nick Paz will be the city’s next police chief. Captain Paz has served the city of La Verne for over 30 years in a number of capacities with the last 5 as Police Captain.
Captain Paz will be sworn in at an upcoming City Council meeting and begin his new service as Police Chief on January 1, 2017.
Captain Paz has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Organizational Management from the University of La Verne, and attended the FBI National Academy, in Justice Quantico, Virginia.
Captain Paz has been instrumental in moving the department forward with projects such as: implementation of the Police Department’s new dispatch, records management, license plate reader, and 911 systems as well as the re-establishment of the Explorer Program. Additionally, he has enhanced community outreach efforts through Facebook and Nixle. Captain Paz has dedicated his personal time to bettering the community as a member of the La Verne Youth and Family Action Committee, the California Special Olympics, and the United States Air Force Mini Jet Program which serves children with cancer and developmental disabilities.
Captain Paz is filling the vacancy created by the retirement of long time Chief Scott Pickwith and will be responsible for overseeing all police department operations and support divisions including patrol, traffic, and crime prevention. The City Manager and Department Heads look forward to working with the new Chief as a key member of the City’s executive team.
Oh Almighty God, whose great power and eternal wisdom embraces the universe. Watch over all policemen and law enforcement officers. Father in Heaven please give them the strength, courage and perseverance to endure unjust condemnation, danger, and physical abuse to which they are at times subjected. We recommend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous. Dear God, grant these brave men and women your almighty protection, Unite them safely with their families after duty has ended.
Amen
