The City of Austin is seeking input from members of the community as it conducts a national search for Austin’s next Chief of Police. 

Available in both English and Spanish, the survey is being facilitated by the City's executive search consultant, Mosaic Public Partners, with responses collected anonymously. The survey, which closes on June 10, allows the public to share their preferences regarding the priorities and characteristics of Austin’s next Chief of Police. It also includes space to provide additional open-ended recommendations. 

The position was posted on May 15 and will remain open until June 10. The City aims to have candidates identified shortly after the position closes and will promptly begin the interview process. Interview panels will include community members, law enforcement personnel, and City leadership. Additionally, a meet-and-greet community event with the finalists will be scheduled. 

The City will provide updates, as they become available, about the community meet-and-greet event. 

The finalist for the Chief of Police position will be selected by T.C. Broadnax and presented to the Mayor and City Council for confirmation.
