The
Santa Monica Police Department welcomes Timothy
J. Jackman as the new Chief of Police. Chief
Jackman, a 23-year veteran of the Long Beach Police
Department and Deputy Chief for the past four years,
was chosen by City Manager P. Lamont Ewell after a
two-month, nationwide search.
With extensive experience in both field operations
and administration, Chief Jackman has covered the
spectrum of public safety posts from community
relations to internal affairs, information
technology to terrorism prevention. Chief
Jackman has a strong track record in youth services
and youth violence prevention, successfully working
with the Long Beach Unified School District to pilot
new initiatives.

Chief Jackman is also familiar with public safety
issues around homelessness: Long Beach has an
estimated homeless population of 4,475 and faces
challenges similar to Santa Monica. In 2004,
Chief Jackman developed a program to train officers
on alternatives to cope with homeless and mentally
ill persons and worked closely with mental health
professionals to train more than 100 officers.
Chief Jackman has a Bachelors of Science from the
University of the State of New York and a Master of
Business Administration from the University of
California at Irvine.
