Yreka swears in Patrick Dirksen as police chief
Summary
The council recognized Patrick (Pat) Dirksen and administered an oath of office before a brief photo reception; the city manager and mayor led the ceremony and staff invited attendees for cake and photos.
City Manager Will Ibershoff introduced Patrick Dirksen and invited him with his wife to receive the chief's badge and the mayor to administer the oath at the start of the Aug. 4 meeting. The mayor administered the oath and attendees gathered for photographs; the manager noted his wife had arranged cake and ice cream for attendees. The new chief was congratulated by council and staff; the council recessed briefly afterward for photographs.
The event was ceremonial and procedurally separate from the council's regular agenda items; no formal action beyond the oath and congratulations was recorded in the meeting minutes.
