Ontario chief sworn in
Eric Hopley, a 23-year veteran with the Ontario Police Department, officially became the Chief of Police Tuesday night.
With his family in attendance and several uniformed officers in the council chambers, Hopley received his badge.
"Thank you for being here," Hopley said. "It really means a lot for me."
Also in attendance was Upland Chief of Police, Steve Adams.
Born and raised in Upland, Hopley began his career as a police officer in Upland in 1983. Two years later, he joined the Ontario Police Department.
Prior to him being sworn in, Hopley received praise from the council members.
"We're pleased to have you in the position. You will serve this city well and your character precedes this position," Mayor Paul Leon said.
Councilmember Alan Wapner, who served with Hopley said he had the utmost confidence in him.
Debra Dorst-Porada, who in past council meetings has detailed her escapades during police ride alongs, offered to ride with him if he ever needed a partner.
