VENTURA : Police Commander New Assistant Chief
Ventura police officials promoted 20-year department veteran Lt. Michael J. Tracy to the position of assistant chief.
Tracy replaces Randy Adams, who left the department in early September to become Simi Valley’s chief of police.
Tracy joined the Ventura Police Department in February, 1975, as a patrol officer and was promoted to sergeant in 1979. He became a lieutenant in 1987 and has served as commander in communications, patrol operations and, most recently, detective operations.
Tracy has a master’s degree in management and graduated in January from the California Law Enforcement Command College.
