Congratulations to Police Chief Roxana Kennedy on her 30-year milestone with the Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD). Chief Kennedy began her law enforcement career in 1992 after graduating from the Southwestern College Police Academy. In 2013, she was named the first female Chief of Police for the CVPD.
As an Officer, Chief Kennedy established a reputation for an outstanding work ethic, professionalism, commitment to the community, and dedication to the job. Her passion for police work and providing the highest quality of service to the community quickly propelled her through the ranks to become Chula Vista’s first female Police Lieutenant and then in 2013, Police Captain.
Chief Kennedy is committed to the six pillars of 21st Century Policing by providing the highest level of professional law enforcement services to our community by building trust and legitimacy, increasing the use of technology, implementing community policing strategies, expanding officer training and education, and enhancing officer safety and wellness.
Thank you for your commitment and service Chief Kennedy.
