Fresno Mayor Lee Brand on Friday will appoint an interim police chief from within the department after he failed to hire a permanent chief to replace Jerry Dyer, a city councilmember said.
Dyer is retiring in October. He’s also running for mayor.
Councilmember Miguel Arias told The Bee the interim chief will be someone who did not apply for the permanent position. Two other sources who have knowledge of the search but spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed an interim chief would be appointed. The identity of the interim appointee could not immediately be confirmed.
