| | | | | | There's a new Sheriff in town, starting tomorrow, March 29. Lt. Eric Christensen of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office will serve as the next Chief, taking the helm after Mike Hubbard retires.
With the Sheriff's Office since 1991, Christensen has over twenty years of law enforcement experience to bring to the mean streets of Lafayette. Armed with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice Administration, and having spent three years in the Army, along with stints as a Patrol Deputy and Detective for the San Ramon Police Department, a Supervising Sergeant for Oakley's Police Department and having managed the Emergency Services Support Unit, he's well prepared to oversee Lafayette's Police Department.
"With his extensive background in local law enforcement in suburban communities, Lt. Christensen is well-qualified to serve Lafayette," said City Manager Steven Falk. "Given our potential for catastrophic wildland fires, mudslides, earthquakes, and flooding, Christensen's experience in the Emergency Services Support Unit should be valuable to the community."
