A Redwood PD veteran with more than three decades of law enforcement experience has been chosen as Redwood City’s new chief of police. Daniel "Dan" Mulholland will assume his new role Tuesday, following an extensive recruitment process.
“I have a lifelong connection with the community and consider Redwood City to be my home, and the men and women of the police department to be my second family,” said Mulholland.
Mulholland has been with the local police department since the 1980s. He has held various ranks, according to the San Jose Mercury News, “including patrol sergeant, traffic sergeant, administrative sergeant, investigative sergeant, SWAT team leader, SWAT commander, team leader of the countywide terrorist counter-assault team, detective sergeant, captain of the patrol division and, most recently, head of the administrative services division.” He also served as acting chief previously.
As chief, Mulholland will earn an annual salary of $252,576.
