The Chief of Police serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Newton Police Department. The Chief is expected during the next chapter of this strong Department’s history to fully embrace and ensure the implementation of its mission of improving the quality of life for all residents by delivering fair, just, respectful, safe and effective policing. In addition to holding direct responsibility for the administration and general conduct of all NPD community policing activities and holistic crime prevention initiatives, the department’s next Chief will assist the City of Newton and Mayor Fuller with community-driven programs and initiatives that support the full spectrum of needs of Newton’s residents.
The ideal candidate will be an adaptive leader committed to continuous improvement. The candidate will be capable of inspiring trust and confidence with people in all of Newton’s diverse villages, as well as earning the respect and confidence of both sworn and civilian employees.
The next Chief must foster a culture of self-examination and constant improvement within the Department. The Chief will be expected to have exceptional communication skills, and cultural sensitivity, in order to respond effectively to any and all concerns raised by an informed and engaged public.
In addition, the next Chief must be a reform-minded leader, able to rebuild trust and nurture legitimacy by actively seeking to improve continuously the policing model and embracing and advancing the principles of procedural justice. Moreover, the Chief will demonstrate a deep commitment to ensuring the department’s culture embraces a guardianship, rather than a warrior, mindset.
