Interim Mayor Comments on Resignation of SDPD Chief Lansdowne


SAN DIEGO (February 25, 2014) Interim Mayor Todd Gloria today distributed a statement following the resignation of William Lansdowne as Chief of the San Diego Police Department. "William Lansdowne has served San Diego exceptionally well throughout his 10 years as our Chief of Police. His leadership led to our lowest crime rate since the 1960s, his hallmark calm demeanor helped get the San Diego Police Department and our City through challenging financial cutbacks, and he remains a respected national expert on public safety. Im grateful for his tremendous contributions to San Diego and wish him well in retirement, said Interim Mayor Todd Gloria. It is my hope that a national search that includes significant community input will be performed to select the next police chief. The City Council and I stand ready to help the Mayor-Elect ensure the San Diego Police Department has stable leadership and continues to be America's Finest."
