Glendale's new Police Chief Randy Adams was sworn in before a
crowd that packed the City Council chambers Tuesday night.
The chief wore his new Glendale "blues," or uniform, and took the
oath of office as audience members gave him a standing ovation. His
wife pinned on his badge to make it official.
"I'm very proud to be here tonight," he said.
"I believe that you're entrusted as a chief like a coach of a
team. And certainly, Glendale Police Department is a winning team."
Members of the audience included a slew of Glendale Police
officers, as well as Simi Valley Police officers. Adams served as the
Simi Valley police chief for the past seven years. The 51-year-old
public-safety veteran announced that he has a "zero tolerance for
crime" and would work hard to improve safety in Glendale in any way
possible.
