Brian Harding, who has been serving as Akron 's acting chief of police, has been selected to fill the role permanently, according to the city.“I believe Chief Harding’s experience, work ethic, integrity, and heart for public service make him the right person to lead the Akron Police Department,” said Malik.
Harding's predecessor, Steve Mylett announced in September 2023 that he was leaving public servicefor a job in the private sector. He retired Jan. 1, with Harding taking on the acting chief role since then. “I am honored to serve the Akron community and the officers and civilian staff of the Akron Police Department as the next Chief of Police," said Harding."This is a responsibility I take very seriously, and I plan to work closely with our team and our community as we take strides together to create the city we all want.”
Unlike Mylett, who was a transplant to the department, Harding has been with Akron police since 1995. He was promoted to deputy chief in 2021.We Follow Through Want us to continue to follow through on a story? Let us know.
