Benicia Police Chief Mike Greene on Thursday announced his retirement after 30 years in law enforcement.
"I am leaving this profession with pride, humility and the deepest gratitude," said Greene on social media.
Greene's last day will be Jan. 20, he said, which Mayor Steve Young said might give the city enough time to name his replacement. "The city manager has committed to an open and public process, and we will likely be recruiting citizens to serve on our panel to help interview candidates," said Young on Saturday. "This is evidenced by the low crime rates in Benicia, as well as his successful efforts to strengthen and diversify the force," said the mayor.
