Brian Miller to Be Sworn in as Petaluma Police Chief on Monday

Petaluma will swear in its next police chief at Monday’s City Council meeting. Brian Miller, who has been interim chief since December, was selected as the full-time chief last week. He was a Petaluma police officer for 19 years before taking over for the now retired former chief Ken Savano. Miller, a Sonoma County native, will be in charge of a police department with 71 sworn officers, 35 professional staff and an annual budget of 26-million-dollars. His goals include reducing crime, increasing traffic safety and improving quality of life.
