The city announced Friday that Galen Carroll, a commander with the Long Beach Police Department, will start Jan. 8 as chief. His salary is $175,000. City Manager Greg Nyhoff will introduce Carroll at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Carroll, 42, will replace Capt. Gene Balentine, who has served as interim chief since August, when Chief Mike Harden retired. Balentine, who was not a candidate for the job, will return to running the department's investigative services division. MORE

Modesto is the town just north of here, separated from my town by the Tuolumne River. MPD and their commando cops are one of the reasons I got the fuck out of that town and avoid going there unless absolutely necessary and now they've gone and hired a cop from LA to be their chief of police.I do hope that I'm wrong, but I can see is him bring his big(ger) city attitude up here, along with militarizing MPD even more than what it already is.
