SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Several qualified applications for the Police Chief position have been received. The search process has
been very thorough. Staff members and members of the police task force conducted extensive interviews
with a number of candidates. After selecting our finalist candidate, on-site interviews were conducted.
The first interview was conducted by a group of regional law enforcement officers, county prosecutor,
McCall Fire Chief and staff. The second interview was with a group (approx 30) of McCall citizens.
The City Manager has extended a final offer to Justin Williams, subject to Council confirmation. Mr.
Williams received a Master of Criminal Justice degree from Tarleton State University and a Master Peace
Officer Certification from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer’s Standards and
Education. Mr. Williams served as an adjunct instructor in Criminal Justice for Tarleton State University.
Mr. Williams’ law enforcement career and education provided numerous qualifications and strengths that
made him stand out from the other applicants interviewed for the Police Chief position. Mr. Williams is
an eighteen year veteran of law enforcement with nine years of command leadership experience, which
includes serving as the Chief of Police for Tarleton State University for the past six years. In addition to
the supervision of personnel, Mr. Williams has been responsible for the development, maintenance, and
distribution of a budget in excess of 1.5 million dollars.
Mr. Williams’ demonstrated dedication, knowledge, and experience as a law enforcement professional
makes him an ideal selection as the City of McCall’s Police Chief.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Confirm the City Manager’s appointment of Justin Williams as the Police Chief, per McCall City
Code 1-9-3(C).
2. Clerk will then officially swear into Office Justin Williams.
