City announces two final candidates for police chief

Two finalists have been named in the City of San Marcos’ search for a new police chief. 

Duncanville Police Chief Robert Brown and Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge were selected as finalists from among a pool of five candidates. The city interviewed the five candidates last week after it received 92 applications from across the nation for the police chief position. 

Brown and Standridge will participate in a public meet and greet on Oct. 14 and a one-on-one interview with City Manager Bert Lumbreras on Oct. 15 as the final part of the interview process. The city announced that it will name a new police chief in late October or early November. A later date will be announced, the city said.
