Ocean City to Begin Search for New Police Chief

oceancitymd.gov

Ocean City is about to begin its search to replace departing Police Chief Bernadette DiPino.

The Town Council huddled behind closed doors during this week’s work session.

Council President Lloyd Martin told the Salisbury Daily Times that he believed 90 percent of being a good police chief is being a good manager of people.

He said the search could take at least 90 days including a 30 day period for advertising the job.

DiPino announced she was leaving last month and will take over as chief of police in Sarasota, Florida.
