Police Chief Search Listening Session II

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne invites the community to join this public listening session for the Somerville Police Chief recruitment led by GovHR, the national executive staffing firm the City has selected to conduct the search.

This listening session is an early opportunity for community members to voice their goals, concerns, and expectations of both the search process and prospective candidates. Community feedback will serve as an invaluable tool as GovHR begins their extensive recruitment process.
