CLEARLAKE >> On Thursday, May 3 Clearlake Police Department Interim Chief Tim Celli swore in a new police officer and two Code Enforcement officers.
Evan Cannaday was sworn in during the first City Council meeting of the month. Cannaday has a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Sonoma State University and recently graduated from the Santa Rosa Police Academy.
Also sworn in were Code Enforcement Officers Steve Felder and Lee Lambert. Due to a reorganization, Code Enforcement will now fall under the supervision of the Police Department providing additional authority to the Code Enforcement Officers to deal with issues they encounter.
“I am excited to continue to have new officers join our department. Officer Cannaday is going to be a great addition to our team. In addition, having Code Enforcement under the authority of the Police Department is going to make them much more effective in doing their job,” said Celli.
City Manager Greg Folsom added, “Bringing on Police Officer Cannaday and Code Enforcement Officers Felder and
Lambert to the Clearlake Police Department is a part of the progress we are making as we strive to make Clearlake a safer and cleaner city.”
