CHINO -- A longtime Chino policeman will soon be the department's top cop.
City officials on Tuesday announced Capt. Miles Pruitt would replace retiring Police Chief Stan Stewart.
"I suppose the reason most police officers join law enforcement is because they believe they can make a positive influence, and that was my motivation for going into law enforcement as well," Pruitt said. "I felt I could make a positive impact in my community."
Pruitt will take charge of the Police Department on Nov. 6, City Manager Pat Glover said.
Pruitt has been with the Police Department since 1983. For the past two years, he has been captain of the operations division.
Pruitt has also served as patrolman, supervisor of the SWAT team and patrol watch commander. He also served in the detective bureau, enforcement detail and technical services unit.
"I'm honored to be selected as the chief of police for Chino and I look forward to continuing to serve the community and the men and women of the Chino Police Department," Pruitt said.
Stewart announced his retirement Aug. 20.
Captain Pruitt will make an outstanding chief. The community of Chino should support this decision as the police department moves forward.
