In a pivotal moment for Bullhead City, the City Council meeting on October 7, 2025, introduced interim police chief Danny Sharp, a seasoned law enforcement veteran with 33 years of experience. Sharp, who previously served as chief of police in Oro Valley and held various roles in the Tucson Police Department, aims to assess and enhance the local police department during his interim tenure.

City Manager Cotter emphasized the importance of Sharp's fresh perspective, stating, "I've asked Mr. Sharp to analyze the department and report back on what's working well and what needs improvement." This strategic move comes in the wake of former Chief Trebes' retirement, with the city actively seeking a permanent replacement.

Sharp expressed gratitude for the warm welcome he received from the community and pledged to leave the department in a better state than he found it. "This is a fantastic community, very supportive of the police department," he noted, highlighting his commitment to fostering strong community relations.

The meeting also included procedural motions, such as waiving the reading of ordinances, but the introduction of Sharp stood out as a significant development for the city's law enforcement future. As Bullhead City navigates this transitional phase, residents can expect ongoing evaluations and improvements within their police department.
