Changes coming to the police division
Some job shuffling will be happening by year’s end as the city’s two deputy police chiefs, Majs. Mark Hoffman and David Van Arsdale will be swapping assignments.
Police Chief Greg Schwarber said he will be retiring in about a year and a half and to be fair to both command officers, he said both could use some experience in each other’s areas. Both Hoffman and Van Arsdale will be eligible to compete for the chief’s job when Schwarber retires.
Hoffman is in charge of the Investigative/Support division which includes oversight of the criminal investigation section, police records and the city jail. He has previous been in charge of the Operations division, which oversees uniform patrol, communications and property.
Van Arsdale has spent his entire career in Operations as part of the uniform patrol section. This new assignment will give him the opportunity to gain experience in the Investigative/Support division.
