The La Verne City Council and Police Chief Gonzales introduced Captain Travis Tibbetts to the community. Chief Gonzales (speaker 7) described Tibbetts’ 24‑year career with the West Covina Police Department, listing roles including patrol officer, SWAT field training officer, firearms instructor, detective sergeant, lieutenant and detective bureau manager, and noting Tibbetts’ local roots and University of La Verne education.
