The city of Snoqualmie will be interviewing four police chief candidates beginning Oct. 26.

The four candidates are: Mark Daniel, currently a police captain for the Sherwood Police Department in Ore.; James L. Dunlap, second precinct commander for the Chesapeake Police Department in Virginia; Brian McElroy, Chief of Police for the West Richland (Wash.) Police Department; and Perry Phipps, a police captain for the Visalia Police Department in Visalia, Calif.

Each candidate will be interviewed by four panels, comprised of senior managers, Snoqualmie police department staff, and community members.

Panelists will provide input to Mayor Matt Larson and City Administrator Bob Larson. Panelists will not recommend or select finalists but will provide their input to Mayor Matt Larson and City Administrator Bob Larson on each candidate’s strengths.

Mayor Larson will choose a final candidate to be confirmed by the City Council, likely at the City Council meeting on Nov. 14. The final candidate will begin service with the Snoqualmie Police Department within 30 to 60 days following confirmation.

The recruitment process is being coordinated by The Prothman Company.
