San Antonio Police Chief William McManus is speeding up his retirement, leaving the city to appoint a temporary replacement. McManus was expected to retire on September 30, but will now exit the role on July 10.
Search for Successor
The search for his successor is ongoing, with the city planning to choose an acting chief from within the San Antonio Police Department command before McManus’ last day. Interviews for the next police chief will take place in August, with a final selection expected in September.
McManus has served as San Antonio’s police chief since April 17, 2006, overseeing significant changes in public safety and policing in the city. His early retirement means he will not be around for the city budget debates this fall, which will involve discussions on funding for new officers and addressing the city’s major budget deficit.
