Police Chief Lentini Gets a Fond Send-Off
Brea Police Chief William C. Lentini was honored for his 31 years of service to the communities of Brea and Yorba Linda with a retirement party Friday night.
During his tenure, Lentini began a bike patrol unit, opened a police substation downtown and initiated a citizens police academy that takes residents through the same types of training the city’s uniformed officers undergo.
Brea Mayor Marty Simonoff credited Lentini, 54, for maintaining a strong and harmonious police force. “When a chief can come in and have a positive impact on a department and leave knowing that he helped make it a quality organization, that says a lot about an individual,” said Simonoff.
