The search for a new chief began after Singletary announced in January 2024, after serving in law enforcement for 53 years, that he would retire in March.
By March Singletary pledged to stay on the job until his replacement could be found.
Earlier this week a committee made up of community leaders held a private Q & A with each of the four candidates followed by a bus tour of the city and then a public meet and greet with residents.
There was a large turnout of residents and quite a few Beaumont Police officers and the meet and greet at the Downtown Event Centre.
Residents got to hear firsthand why each candidate believes they are the best fit to become Beaumont's next police chief.

Councilman Chris Duriso just cut off Mayor West as he was speaking. Rude! Cut him off and never let the Mayor finish his comments. What the hell?
