Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan announced his selection for the position of deputy mayor for public safety Monday morning, selecting Akron Fire Department Chief Clarence Tucker for the role.
Tucker is replacing Charles Brown, who is retiring after nearly four decades of public service.
“As I began to think about who our next deputy mayor for public safety would be and the characteristics I knew we needed in this role, chief Tucker immediately came to mind,” said Horrigan. “Clarence leads by example with integrity and honesty and always with a community-minded approach. He has been an outstanding public servant in the city of Akron for 34 years and I can’t imagine a better person than him for this role in this present moment.
