In this episode we sat down with West Covina’s Chief of Police, Richard Bell. Now three years into his tenure leading the West Covina Police Department, Chief Bell covered a wide range of topics during his interview, topics that are of keen interest to all residents.
For example, Chief Bell discussed recent trends in crime in our city – trends that both confirm and contradict widely held perceptions. Other topics we covered included the increasing use of license plate recognition cameras by the WCPD and changes to policies for permits to carry concealed weapons. Those policies are being changed now, the result of a ruling by the Supreme Court just months ago.
Chief Bell also shares with us his personal history including his time as a running back in the NFL and, post professional football ascending the ranks of law enforcement. Chief Bell is a humble, thoughtful, and experienced leader that takes enormous pride in our police department and the residents they serve. Get to know, Police Chief Richard Bell, on this episode of Talk to Us West Covina.
