The successor to Napaâs first minority police chief may be â at least in the near term â the first woman to lead city law enforcement.
Sylvia Macrae Moir, who spent four years as chief of police in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe, Arizona before resigning in October, will become interim chief of Napa Police pending an approval vote Tuesday by the City Council. The candidacy of Moir, whose law enforcement career has spanned more than three decades, was disclosed in a council meeting agenda published Thursday morning.
If cleared by the council, the 55-year-old Moir would become Napaâs first-ever female police chief as well as the first openly gay person to hold the position, replacing Robert Plummer, the first Black leader of the force.
