SAN BENITO — Assistant Police Chief Michael Galvan has been named interim chief of the San Benito Police Department.
An administrative action by City Manager Manuel De La Rosa, the change of command comes as Police Chief of Operations Martin Morales requested last month to be allowed to step-down from his top administrative position to take on a new role in the Department.
Tuesday evening the San Benito City Commission approved a lieutenant’s position that Morales will fill.
“I expect that this will be a smooth transition of leadership and look forward to continued support from both Mr. Morales and Mr. Galvan,” De La Rosa said.
“This is a challenge and an honor,” Galvan said. “I look forward to working with the police officers and reinforcing our commitment to service to the City of San Benito,” he added. Galvan is a 16-year veteran with the San Benito Police Department, working his way up through the ranks from a rookie officer to the assistant chief’s position.
“Mr. Galvan is a talented officer with many certifications to his credit,” the city manager said.
