SAN JOSE — Paul Joseph, currently the second-in-command at the San Jose Police Department, will become interim chief when Chief Anthony Mata leaves at the end of the month, according to multiple department sources.
The appointment of Joseph should not come as a surprise, since assistant chiefs often serve the interim role upon a chief’s departure. This was the case for the past two leadership changes, whenNews of Joseph’s promotion was announced through a department-wide email to SJPD on Friday that cited City Manager Jennifer Maguire, who in addition to making the announcement, reiterated plans for a permanent chief search this year.
Joseph actually has 30 years with SJPD, which is more than his predecessor Mata, who elevated Joseph from captain to assistant chief when he took over. Joseph joined the police department in 1994 after two-and-a-half years as an officer in San Mateo, and in San Jose has worked patrol, narcotics enforcement, SWAT duty and robbery investigations. As a sergeant, he supervised patrol officers and field training, and as a lieutenant,and homicide divisions. He was promoted to captain in 2020, and served in that role for a year before he took his current position, bypassing the deputy chief level in the department’s hierarchy.
A Los Angeles native, Joseph earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Cal State Northridge and a law degree from what is now called the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco.Dear Abby: Since they moved into their dream house, they haven't cleaned it onceDear Abby: My grandparents love their new tenant.
