Today (Wednesday) marked the first day of service for new police chief Jake Sullivan of Frisco.
Sullivan, who has over 25 years of experience in law enforcement, has served as police chief in Whitney, Fort Stockton, and Celeste. He most recently served as a relief officer in Paris ISD.
Sullivan fills the position held by previous police chief Craig Wise, who retired in July. He was selected out of six candidates for the position.
In addition to his previous police chief duties, Sullivan has also worked within the DPS Airport Security Division at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, as a lieutenant for the Whitehouse Police Department, and as a lieutenant for the Dallas County College District.
Retired DPS Lieutenant Otto Arnim served as Somerville’s interim police chief since August 10th, following Wise’s retirement.
