Council announces selection of Paul Rockenbach as top candidate for police chief
Summary
Council member announced Paul Rockenbach as the highest-scoring candidate for police chief pending background checks; Rockenbach holds degrees from Liberty University and currently works in the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
A council member announced the council's top-scoring candidate for police chief, saying, "His name is, Paul Rockenbach." The council member outlined Rockenbach's education — a bachelor's in business administration from Liberty University and a master's in criminal justice and homeland security from Liberty — and said Rockenbach is currently employed with the United States Air Force in the Office of Special Investigations, serving as chief of counterintelligence at Hillsborough State Air Force Base in South Dakota.
The announcement noted the hire is pending successful background checks and screenings and that, because Rockenbach is currently out of state, another candidate (named Rocky Balton) will transition toward the role toward the end of February. The transcript also references an interim or department head appointment ('Dr. Bob') contingent on training and certification completion. Staff and council indicated follow-up on background checks and onboarding timelines will occur.
