Two Citrus Heights police officers were recently promoted to higher command ranks.
Lt. Thomas Chaplin was promoted to commander and Sgt. Doug Fletcher was promoted to lieutenant, Police Chief Christopher W. Boyd said in a news release. Both officers will exercise their new command roles in the patrol division.
Chaplin and Fletcher are original members of the Police Department, which was created in 2006.
Chaplin has 21 years of experience in law enforcement, serving with the Sacramento Police Department and the California Department of Justice prior to joining the Citrus Heights Police Department as a lieutenant.
He has been responsible for running the department investigations division and overseeing many of the "most critical incidents and cases," Boyd said. Chaplin also helped to create the Citrus Heights Police Activities League.
Fletcher has 26 years of experience in law enforcement, serving with the San Rafael Police Department before joining the Citrus Heights police.
Most recently Fletcher has directed the daily operations of the special investigations unit while also overseeing the department's property and evidence unit, Boyd said.
