Analysis:
On November 5, 2018, the City Council, via Ordinance No. 4167, approved a modification to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, Section 2.76.010 establishing the Assistant Chief of Police as excluded from the competitive service.
Reporting directly to the Chief of Police, the primary responsibility of this position will be to support the department-wide administrative operations of the Huntington Beach Police Department. The Assistant Chief of Police will serve as the highest-level sworn subordinate classification to the Chief of Police.
The Assistant Chief of Police will be responsible to oversee and manage the assigned activities of the department and to lead and direct the Police Captains assigned to the Uniform, Investigations, and Administrative Operations bureaus. The Assistant Chief of Police will assist in the department-wide implementation of short and long-term strategic plans, including development and oversight of new programs and policies. The Assistant Chief of Police will handle budget development and implementation in furtherance of the department’s fiscal plans.
This position is at-will. However, for continuity of benefits, the benefits associated with the Assistant Chief of Police position will mirror the benefits of the Police Management Association, including those specific rights afforded under California Government Code Sections 3300 - 3312. The Chief of Police will conduct an internal recruitment to select the Assistant Chief of Police. Following the recruitment and selection process, the Assistant Chief of Police appointment will require City Council approval of the employment agreement.
The Assistant Chief of Police (job description attached) has been established at Non Associated pay grade NA0650. The compensation range for the classification is $78.80-$97.50 ($163,696 - $202,800 annually).
