Council appoints Jesse Castelar as acting police chief, effective June 8
Summary
The Marin City Council voted to appoint Jesse Castelar as acting police chief effective June 8, 2026; the move includes a ceremonial transition at the June meeting and was approved by voice vote.
The council voted unanimously to appoint Jesse Castelar as acting police chief, with the appointment to take effect on June 8, 2026.
At the workshop’s opening motion, a council member moved “for appointment date of June 8 for Jesse, a new chief,” and the Chair said the motion carried. The Chair added that the outgoing chief will be honored at the June meeting and that Castelar will transition immediately into the role so there is “no lapse of coverage.”
The vote was taken by voice at the workshop and recorded as in favor by council members present. The appointment was discussed as a procedural item early in the meeting; no amendments or conditions were attached. The Chair said the administration will coordinate a short ceremony to mark the transition at the next council meeting.
