CITY OF LAKEPORT ANNOUNCES NEW POLICE CHIEF, CAPTAIN DALE STOEBE
LAKEPORT, CA — The City of Lakeport is proud to announce the
selection of Captain Dale Stoebe as its next Police Chief,
succeeding Chief Brad Rasmussen upon his retirement later this
year. After an extensive national search facilitated by Bob Hall
& Associates Executive Recruiters, Captain Stoebe was chosen as
the top candidate through a rigorous assessment process. Council
Member Mattina expressed enthusiasm for Captain Stoebe's
appointment, stating, "I am excited to have Captain Stoebe take
the reins. He already understands the public safety needs of
Lakeport and has long established strong community
relationships."
Captain Stoebe has been a dedicated member of the Lakeport
Police Department since 1990, having served in various
capacities including patrol officer, narcotics taskforce member,
and School Resource officer, where he was involved in teaching
the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program. Promoted
to sergeant in 2006, he took on responsibilities in police
operations, recruiting, and internal affairs. His career further
advanced as he served as a detective and eventually became
second in command of the department, overseeing all its
functions. Captain Stoebe is also a distinguished graduate of
the FBI National Academy.
A lifelong resident of Lakeport, Captain Stoebe is deeply
integrated into the community, actively participating in local
groups and raising his family in the city he continues to serve
with distinction. Captain Stoebe expressed his appreciation
stating, "As someone who grew up here in this wonderful
community, it is both a profound honor and a personal
responsibility for me to serve as your Police Chief. I am deeply
committed to the safety and well-being of Lakeport, and I
promise to lead with the same dedication and care that I would
for my own family. Together, we will continue to foster a safe,
supportive, and thriving environment for all our residents."
The recruitment process started with executive recruiters
gathering input from the City Council, members of the Lakeport
community, police department staff, and City staff, which set
the stage for a nationwide search. This comprehensive process
culminated in four of the most qualified candidates
participating in interview panel assessments, which included a
diverse array of panels including multiple police chiefs, City
staff leadership, and a community panel. Following three hours
of interviews and being evaluated by thirteen different
assessors, candidates who most closely aligned with the public
safety needs of the community were invited to an interview with
City Manager, Kevin Ingram. Ingram said, “Captain Stoebe was
selected after receiving strong feedback from the Community
Panel as well as the other assessors and highlighting his deep-
rooted commitment to public safety in Lakeport.”
The City of Lakeport looks forward to Captain Stoebe's
leadership as he assumes his new role as Police Chief,
continuing to enhance the safety and well-being of the
community.
