ICMA & IPMA-HR, using our Chief Selection Advantage™ approach, are assisting the City of Vancouver in the selection of their next police chief. Our team, working closely with city management, has made a considerable effort to identify the competencies that the next police chief will need to succeed. The announcement states these clearly. This will be a challenging position, however, our intensive review indicates that there are tremendous opportunities to build a quality police agency in a particularly attractive area of the country with strong citizen support.

The city has excellent managerial leadership. Eric Holmes, city manager and Dave Mercier, assistant city manager, are both highly experienced ICMA veterans and are committed to supporting the new chief to accomplish the changes that will be required in the agency. The selection process will be extremely professional and managed by our partner company in the Chief Selection Advantage™, PMG.
