SAN JOSE (KCBS)— San Jose is a step closer to getting a new police chief with the city manager intending to appoint the acting chief, Larry Esquivel to the position permanently.
Esquivel has been San Jose’s acting Police Chief since Chris Moore retired in January. City Manager Debra Figone said Esquivel’s 28 years with the department make him a good choice to take the job permanently.
“From the standpoint of knowing the operations, from the standpoint of knowing what it’s like to be out there, patrolling or in any number of the positions that our officers and other ranks have to cover, he’s done it,” she said.
