Dallas city manager hosts public meet-and-greet for police chief finalists
Summary
City Manager Kimberly Beiser Tolbert introduced five finalists for Dallas police chief, explained how attendees can submit feedback via QR codes that remain active through tomorrow, and said a hiring decision is expected early to mid next week.
City Manager Kimberly Beiser Tolbert introduced five finalists for Dallas police chief at a public meet-and-greet, urged respectful, time-limited engagement from attendees, and said she expects to reach a hiring decision "either early part of middle of next week."
Tolbert framed the hire as one of the most important decisions a city manager makes and described an "impressive pool of candidates" drawn from law enforcement agencies across the country. She asked attendees to use QR codes on posters to submit feedback; she said the QR codes will remain active through tomorrow.
Tolbert named the finalists and provided their current affiliations: Roberto Arredondo Jr., chief of the Carrollton Police Department; Brian Uteig, assistant director (retired), Federal Bureau of Investigation; Daniel Como, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, Houston field division; Michael Igoe, interim chief, Dallas Police Department; and Katrina Shed, assistant chief, Dallas Police Department. She encouraged attendees to meet each finalist at their table and to limit questions so others could participate.
Tolbert told the audience she had briefed city council and hoped to conclude the process soon, reiterating public safety as a top city priority. The transcript does not specify the event date or location; the QR-code feedback deadline and the manager’s timeline for a decision were the only timeline details provided.
After remarks, Tolbert invited attendees to mingle with candidates at their tables.
