Prineville Police

On Wednesday, the City of Prineville announced that Jeff Profio, a seasoned police officer from San Jose, California, will take over as the new police chief, effective November 18. Profio was selected from a pool of finalists who participated in interviews in April, during the first of two rounds of candidates considered for the role this summer.

The latest round of candidates being considered as the new chief of police for the City of Prineville were revealed yesterday. It comes after the city decided to pass on the first round of finalists early last month. Despite being well qualified for the job city officials didn't think any of the candidates were the right fit for the city.
