PLAINFIELD William Wolfburg Jr., an officer who rose from the ranks of the patrol and detective divisions, will become the new second-in-command of the Plainfield Police Department today.
Wolfburg’s promotion, unanimously approved by the Police Commission Tuesday and effective March 1, fills a crucial vacancy left after the recent appointment of Mario Arriaga to the chief’s job.
Wolfburg’s new duties will include overseeing professional standards reviewing civilian complaints against officers helping craft the department’s budget and updating policies.
“And I’ll still be responding to calls,” he said. “I still miss patrol, even after six years. But I’ll still get to interact with the guys and the put my own spin on the job.”
