PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - The police chief in Prescott is leaving for the same position at Yavapai College.
Jerald Monahan’s last day at the city where he oversees a budget of $12 million and 90 employees will be June 15. He was appointed to the position in January 2013.
Monahan has been teaching classes on criminal justice administration at Yavapai College, which is based in Prescott.
He has more than 30 years of experience in public safety.
Monahan is leaving Prescott just ahead of the planned retirement of his deputy, Andy Reinhardt, in July.
The city says it will start recruiting for the police chief’s post and do an internal search for a new deputy police chief.
