The Ukiah Police Department announced this week that it hired two new officers, and promoted a new captain to replace Thomas Corning, who was promoted to chief last month.
Capt. Jason Chapman, who was most recently serving as Patrol Lieutenant, was sworn in Monday to his new role, with UPD officials noting that “Captain Chapman has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership, deep operational knowledge, and a strong commitment to our department’s mission. His dedication to service and ability to lead by example make him an excellent choice for this important role, and we are confident he will continue to serve with integrity and distinction.”
The UPD also announced that it has hired two new officers, whom Corning introduced as Oscar Acuna and Jacob Newcomb. Acuna was described as a lateral hire from “the San Diego Police Department with a proud military background, and (Newcomb) comes to us as a recent academy graduate.”
During its last meeting, the Ukiah City Council declared this week, May 11-17, to be “Police Week in the City of Ukiah,” with this week chosen due to “President John F. Kennedy signing a bill into law in 1962 that designated May 15th of each year as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, and the week in which it falls as Police Week.”
“On behalf of the Ukiah Police Department, I want to sincerely thank you for proclaiming this week Police Week,” Corning said to the council after the proclamation was read. “This recognition is deeply meaningful to our officers, who show up every day with dedication, integrity, and willingness to make personal sacrifices for the safety of this community. Our officers don’t ask for recognition, but knowing that their hard work is seen, and valued by our city’s leadership, makes a lasting impact.
“I also want to acknowledge the families of our officers, whose quiet support is essential to the work we do,” Corning continued. “Thank you for your continued support, and we are proud to serve the city of Ukiah.”
“I appreciate the work you do,” said Council member Mari Rodin. “It’s such hard work, and not many people are willing to take it on. It’s such important work, and I really appreciate all you do.”
