Siverling Is Named Glendale Police Chief
The Glendale City Council on Wednesday named Alhambra Police Chief Russell Siverling as Glendale’s newest chief of police.
Siverling, chief for nine years in Alhambra, was one of three finalists for the position and beat out candidates from the Los Angeles and Modesto police departments, according to those involved in the selection process. Siverling was approved on a 3-2 vote.
“I feel very strongly that Mr. Siverling will make an excellent chief,” Mayor Larry Zarian said.
“From what I know, he’s a very able chief,” said James Anthony, Glendale’s outgoing police chief, who announced his retirement earlier this year but agreed to stay until a successor was found.
Anthony will leave office after nearly six years as the city’s top cop.
