Joseph has been with San Jose Police since 1994 and Asst. Police Chief since March 2021.
Two months after San Jose Police Chief Anthony Mata announced he was stepping down, a new interim police chief has been appointed. Asst. Chief Paul Joseph will now act as chief until a permanent replacement is selected. Paul Jospeh will officially become the Acting Police Chief in San Jose next week. He’s been with the department for three decades, but advocacy groups say they hope others outside the dept. are also considered for the job.
The San Jose Police Officers Association released a statement, saying: "Assistant Chief Joseph has a wide breadth of experience within the San Jose Police Department to draw upon as Interim Chief while the City searches for a permanent Chief. We look forward to working with him to improve the safety of our residents, grow our ranks, and support our officers in the field.
