The Phoenix Police Department has had two men retire to move on to other organizations.
Assistant Chief Bryan Chapman retired after 24 years and has been selected to be the next Chandler chief of police.
"Phoenix PD has been my home for the last 24 years, and I will be forever grateful for the memories, the relationships and the opportunities to serve in this great organization," Chapman said.
Chapman has had various assignments over the years, including the Violent Crimes Bureau, Family Investigations Bureau, Downtown Operations Unit and the Training Bureau, according to a release.
He was promoted to assistant chief in 2021 and assigned to the Organizational & Development Division.
Assistant Director Jesse Cooper is retiring from the department after a 29-year career.
He began as a communications operator and in 2015 was promoted to police administrator over the Communications Bureau.
“This has been a special place for me to spend my career and I am honored to have been a part of the efforts and initiatives that have hopefully made a lasting difference for public safety,” Cooper said.
He has taken a position with National Telecommunications and Information Administration/FirstNet.
