Everett Police Chief Forms Community Advisory Board

Word in from the city that Everett Police Chief Dan Templeman has hand picked ten people to advise him on understanding and responding to public safety issues facing both the police department and people living, working and visiting in Everett, Washington. The group is called the Chief’s Community Advisory Board.

“Community input is critical to our success as a department, and this board is a valuable way for us to leverage the knowledge, perspectives and civic spirit of the members,” said Templeman. “We also hope that as the board members learn more about the department, they will help share information and act as ambassadors within the larger community.”

Duties & Responsibilities of the board are as follows:

Partner in discussions with the Chief and other departmental personnel regarding police services and priorities

Act as a sounding board for the Chief of Police regarding proposed police programs and priorities

Promote a climate of public trust between the community and the Everett Police Department

Promote public awareness of police services and programs

Assist the police department with community outreach, public education, and recruitment efforts

Regularly attend scheduled Board meetings (anticipated to meet quarterly)

Treat other Board members and department personnel with dignity and respect

Occasionally serve as panelists during police promotional processes

Nelly Aguilar-Santos
Ashraf Alazadi
