Kenneth McCoy took over Monday as Tempe’s police chief.
McCoy retired in 2022 as chief of the Anchorage Police Department after 27 years of service with the department. He is a U.S. Army veteran, served 10 years in the Alaska Army National Guard and was honorably discharged as a captain in 2000.
McCoy has a bachelor’s degree in justice from the University of Alaska Anchorage and a certificate in Leading Diversity from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and the FBI National Executive Institute.
He succeeds Jeff Glover who was appointed by Gov. Katie Hobbs to serve as director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
