Overview
- Matt Clark was selected Tuesday to lead the Golden Valley Police Department, starting as department director on Friday and transitioning to interim chief upon completing POST requirements.
- City Manager Noah Schuchman said the city will issue an RFP by Oct. 13 to hire an executive search firm and aims to post the police chief position before the end of the year.
- Virgil Green resigned last week after being on paid administrative leave since May during two misconduct investigations.
- An independent law firm reported that Green improperly shared body-camera footage and interfered in an internal probe, findings Green disputes in media interviews.
- Assistant Chiefs Alice White and Rudy Perez had been co-leading the department during Green’s leave, and FOX 9 reports the agency remains several officers short of full staffing.
