Meet Austin’s next police chief
Monday, July 22, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
With the two finalists now made public, and a selection expected on Friday, July 26, it’s time for the public to meet Austin’s next police chief. The city will hold a meet-and-greet at the Palmer Events Center on Tuesday, July 23, to do just that. Though the period for submitting questions online has closed, attendees can ask questions in person from 5:30 until 6 p.m. and interact directly with the candidates from 7:30 until 8 p.m. The main event, which will start at 6 p.m., will feature opening remarks and a question-and-answer session moderated by Judy Maggio. City Council will meet to possibly confirm the next chief at a special called meeting on July 30.
