We currently are the last city in the state of california with an elected chief of police. Reporter currently only a santa clara resident can run for police chief and james says that limits the pool of qualified candidates. The pool that we have for the elected chief of police is only ten officers that are from santa clara pd that live in the city out of 153 sworn officers. Reporter yes on measure b would change that.
