City Of Boulder Asks For Public Input On Police Chief Recruitment

BOULDER, CO — The City of Boulder is asking for community input on the recruitment process for the next chief of police. The city is working with a national recruiting firm to host two community input sessions about what experience and characteristics the next chief should have.

Boulder Police Chief Greg Testa announced his retirement earlier this year after serving the department for more than three decades.

The job posting will open Nov. 25. Candidates will go through panel interviews and a meet-and-greet with community members.
