Hadsell IS police chief
I had a chance to talk to Baldwin Park Chief Executive Officer Vijay Singhal earlier, and he informed me Lili Hadsell was appointed police chief last night.
Because she is already with the department, it works like a promotion so no contracts needed for approval. A new agreement will be drafted, but that's it, she's the big cheese now.
Officials say she'll be making $155,00 a year - $15,000 more than former Police Chief Edward Lopez did.
Sierra Madre Police Chief Marilyn Diaz - who worked with Hadsell when they were both at the Pasadena Police Dept - told me Hadsell is the second female chief of police in the SGV, and the third in LA County.
Diaz was first in the SGV and county, and Inglewood Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks was the second in the county.
Talk about girl power.
