The race for the top jobs in the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue is hitting a pivotal phase, with Meet & Greets kicked off for candidates vying to become the next chiefs. A select number of law enforcement executives are in the running for the Dallas Police Chief position, including local and out-of-state names such as Roberto Arredondo, Jr., of the Carrollton Police Department, retired FBI Assistant Director Brian Boetig, DEA's Houston Field Division Special Agent in Charge Daniel C. Comeaux, alongside Dallas PD's own Interim Chief Michael T. Igo, and Assistant Chief Catrina M. Shead.
The list of candidates for the Dallas Fire-Rescue Chief role reads similarly impressive. Contenders from within Texas and beyond are all set to make their mark. Todd Alt serves as the Assistant Chief in Tampa, Florida's Fire Rescue, while Justin Ball currently fills the role of Interim Fire Chief at Dallas Fire-Rescue. Raymond Hill of the Fort Worth Fire Department and the former Houston Fire Department Chief, Samuel Peña, are completing the lineup. The candidates' backgrounds and professional achievements can also be viewed online.
According to the City of Dallas, the chance to meet the Dallas Fire-Rescue candidates is scheduled for tomorrow in the City Hall Flag Room, ready to warmly welcome the public and stakeholders from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
