The Santa Cruz Police Department was proud to join with well over 100 well wishers at this morning's investiture of Rudy Escalante as the new Chief of Police for Capitola PD. Chief Escalante has served a distinguished career in our county including over 24 years with the Santa Cruz Police Department. The entire Santa Cruz Police Department management team and former SCPD Chief Jack Bassett were on hand to show our support. Check out this link for a story by the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
