Meeting with Police Chief Candidates for Gaithersburg
Posted 3/19/2007

City Manager David B. Humpton is pleased to report that the City is making progress on hiring a new Police Chief. The City’s Police Chief, Mary Ann Viverette will retire from City service on May 18, 2007. Approximately fifty applicants from across the country applied for this important position and the City’s consultant, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, did an extensive resume review, some preliminary background checks and most importantly telephone interviews. This process narrowed the pool of applicants down to six highly qualified candidates.

Next week, extensive interviews will be held, and there will be an opportunity for the candidates to tour and learn more about the City.

The Mayor and City Council, Police Chief’s Advisory Council, members of the Police Department, and a number of the City’s Senior Management Team plan to meet and greet all of the candidates during a reception which will be held on Wednesday, March 28 at 7:30 pm at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park, 506 South Frederick Avenue, Room A. Also invited are key individuals from the Neighborhood Watch communities. This meeting is open to the public; however, if you plan to attend please RSVP to Sarah Paxton at 301-258-6310, ext. 2109.
