Arcadia Names Police Chief
A police captain and 32-year veteran of the department will become the city’s new police chief Sept. 12.
David Hinig, 52, will succeed Chief Ronnie Garner, who is retiring after four years of overseeing the 73-officer department, City Manager William Kelly said.
“I’m excited, proud and humbled to have been selected to lead the men and women of the Arcadia Police Department,” Hinig said.
He added that he will step up a transition to community-oriented policing.
Hinig assumes command as the city is seeking voter approval in November for an $8-million bond issue to pay for a new police headquarters.
