Jason Ta, the interim police chief of Vallejo, has been appointed as the permanent chief. While the city manager expresses confidence in Ta's leadership, some critics question his commitment to police reform. Ta takes over a department facing challenges including officer conduct issues, high homicide rates, staffing shortages, and public scrutiny.
After what the city of Vallejo called a 'robust national search,' officials have named interim police chief Jason Ta as the new permanent chief.The Vallejo city manager has full faith in Ta, but some critics are expressing doubts about the choice.Ta will formally take over a department where officer conduct has made international headlines, most notably with the high-profile police shootings of Willie McCoy and Sean Monterrosa.
He worked at the San Jose Police Department for 27 years before coming to Vallejo as a deputy chief in 2021.Vallejo City Manager Andrew Murray -- who appointed Ta -- says during his time as interim chief, Ta has stabilized staffing levels, adopted crime reduction technologies, improved relationships with the community and shepherded the completion of police reforms required by the state.But not everyone thinks promoting Ta was the right thing to do.
